Colorado Trail Thru Hike Day 14 | The Beautiful Hope Pass | Collegiate West

On day 14 of my Colorado Trail Thru Hike I headed out of camp early in the morning to head up over Hope Pass. I had debated going Collegiate East or West and man am I glad I went West. The views absolutely blew my mind.

The actual hike up Hope Pass is pretty challenging but worth every second. The view once you get over the top is arguably better than the one on the way up. Ended up calling the day a little early and glad I did as a pretty whacky storm blew through right over me.
