More Colorado routes in the works

These destinations are on our research list. Two Colorado routes are on the site so far: La Garita & Penitente Canyon, and a historic 2005 Continental Divide track.

Not published yet. Each of these still needs GPS and access checks before we write a full trip page. We will not invent mileages, ratings, or tracks.
