This 100+ mile trek takes us through the stunning San Juan Mountains of Colorado, offering crystal clear lakes, lush forests, and aweinspiring vistas. Our journey starts from the southern trailhead, as we make our way northeast, taking on steep ascents, rocky terrain, and the heat of the summer.

During this unforgettable backpacking trip, we encounter a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, axolotls, and fellow backpackers. We hike around some of the famous 14ers, and witness some of the prettiest country we've ever seen.

Throughout this documentary, you'll see prototype backpacking gear we were testing, created by Outdoor Vitals. Keep an eye out for more information by subscribing to OV outlets.

Join us as we tackle the first 100 miles of the famous Colorado Trail, pushing ourselves to our limits and experiencing the incredible beauty of this aweinspiring mountain range.
