Colorado Trail: Segments 20 & 21 Hike Guide - In Memory of Juno

Colorado Trail segments 20 & 21 are commonly hiked together due to a lack of trailhead access in between for non 4x4 cars. Segment 20 is 12.7 miles with 3,100ft of elevation gain and Segment 21 14.8 with 3,100ft of elevation gain. These two segments lead hikers to the doorstep and into the San Juan mountains for some of the most challenging and beautiful hiking on the entire CT.

I love your videos man, I'm so incredibly sorry about your pup. I have an 11 year old pup as well that is more than a son to me then I think a son could be. I hope your transition into a new strange life without her is not too difficult. Keep up the good work, because of your videos I feel very much inspired to get out and follow a lot of the ones you do. Hopefully Fools Peak soon.

Can’t imagine the difficulty in uploading this, but what an honor it is to appreciate Juno with you, even though none of us know her. I believe she is living on, in the mountains, and within you guys.

This is my perfect backpacking video with all the real time info. I so appreciate it thank you. I also appreciate somebody who talks about the trail while on trail the same way I do. Me and my daughter will talk mess about the trail while hiking only to turn around and discuss how excited we are for the next one

Thanks for always sharing the scenery with us, and for the guidance which has helped me on multiple Colorado trips. I can tell Juno was a great dog, irreplaceable. This video makes me think of my dog Eo. I don't talk about this much, but I feel compelled to here. He was an Australian shepherd Husky mix, some folks told me he was a blue healer. I don't know much about dog breeds. He was with me the first time I was in Colorado. He was my first dog, and unless another one finds me like he did he may be my last, at least at this point in my life. To make a long story short, I lost him in a traumatic event that was completely my fault. It happened while I was building a fence for him and my girlfriends (now a friend) dog, Vera. His loss was the first in a series beginning in spring 2017 that left my girlfriend and I both without a pair of grandparents each as well as both our dogs by the end of 2018. I can't begin to describe that period in my life, so I won't try to here. I'll just say that I'm a different person now, and the memory of Eo is the memory of a different life that I used to have. A pin oak grew from Eo's grave soon after I buried him in our back yard. Oak trees are very special to me, so this was very significant. My Ex-gf sold her property recently and I dug the tree up and put it in a pot hoping I could keep it alive long enough to find a good place for it. Right now, it is sitting in my back yard dead. I half expected that, so I'm not very upset, just the familiar feeling.... I miss my dog.

Why is the Husky made to carry the luggage? It's not a donkey or a horse. Husky is sad

@devonbailiff 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty common to get a harness for your dog to carry his/her food, bowl, poop bags, etc. A husky will have no problem carrying a couple pounds of his own gear…

@centennialpeaksadventures 2 жыл бұрын

Not the best video for this take. Juno was a very happy girl with an amazing life by all accounts. But, yeah. It’s very common for dogs to take their own water and stuff. For further example, my puppy has enough energy to carry her own supplies for days. She hardly even notices a couple of extra pounds.

Dog is more than capable carrying a light weight. Educate yourself.
