On July 26, 2015, I completed hiking the Colorado Trail — a 486-mile route from Denver to Durango. I had started on April 7, 2012, in hopes of hiking the trail little-by-little each hiking season and completing it before my 60th birthday. Done! I’m so grateful for Colorado’s beauty — a place I have made home, built a career, raised a child, and along the way, met some truly remarkable people. This was a walk of gratitude.
