Walking Across Colorado: ~49 Days (Theoretical)

Walking the ~380-mile width of Colorado (e.g., Utah border to Kansas border) at 3 mph, 8 hrs/day, no rest days: ~49 days.

Reality Check

• Terrain: Plains → Rockies → Plains; mountains drastically slow pace.
• No continuous trail; roads, private land, rivers require detours.
• Weather, altitude, resupply, rest days add weeks.
• Realistic thru-hike (e.g., Colorado Trail, 486 mi): 4–6 weeks.

"Walking across Colorado" is a mountaineering expedition, not a stroll.
