Segment 9, Colorado Trail, Leadville, CO (2)
Leadville,CO (Lake County)
TN Pass to Wurtz Ditch Road
Tennessee Pass is the beginning of Segment 9 (or the end of Segment 8). In 2016 I finished my hike here. This year (2017) I was planning to do the Collegiate Loop which starts at Segment 11. Todays hike was a dayhike which allowed me to acclimate to the altitude (as of yet, I have not had any problems with altitude.)
A fairly easy hike to Wurtz Ditch Rd and back. The trail meandered through several small meadows and over a few bridges. Almost 6 miles roundtrip. I was not done hiking for the day.
Wurtz Ditch Road is a dirt road, probably passable by most vehicles. The Colorado Trail Trailhead is very small with parking for maybe 2 cars.
