In the late ‘80’s the Proclaimers taught all of us that if you wanted to prove yourself to that special someone, you’d need to walk 500 miles and then walk 500 more. The Colorado Front Range is the perfect place to practice being that person who walks 1000 miles before you fall down at their door. Great ‘80s music aside, there are over 3000 miles of trails to explore on winter hikes in Colorado’s Front Range.

Winter hiking gear
Before you head out you need to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
