The Gear List is essentially what Karl uses for his backpacking adventures including hiking the 500 mile Colorado Trail in 2021. The base weight of his backpack (excluding food and water) is 13 pounds.

See how three groups came together to build a bridge in the roaring creek trail. The Roaring Creek Trail is expected to open on 10/28! Roaring Creek was one of the most heavily damaged trails from the Cameron Peak Fire in 2020, and we have put 3 years of hard work into stabilizing sections susceptible to damage from post-fire flood events and rerouting major unsustainable portions of the trail. The completion of this project means that 100% of the trails on the Canyon Lakes Ranger District are open to the public! Although we still have plenty of work to do, particularly on the upper 3 miles, the Roaring Creek Trail is in a state that is safe and accessible to the public. The Overland Mountain Bike Association, Larimer County Youth Conservation Corps, and Rocky Mountain Conservancy Conservation Corps all played a huge role constructing the reroutes and stabilizing the trail. Special thanks to Poudre Wilderness Volunteers for doing an incredible job deconstructing and reconstructing the bridge! Matt Cowan - Canyon Lakes Ranger District United States Forest Service
