CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL

CDT Day 77: Roadwalk & Steamboat Springs

ByPurple Haze Posted onJuly 16, 2016September 21, 2025

Daily Miles: 7.6, Total Miles: 1,268.4

Coyotes were howling and owls were hooting early this morning.

I continued my roadwalk on CO Highway 14, the Rabbit Ears in full view. Turned onto US Highway 40 and headed up towards Rabbit Ears Pass.

Roadwork slowed down traffic which helped me get a ride with Carlos, returning to Steamboat from “clubbing” in Denver. Continuing my good luck, I was able to get an early check-in at the hotel.

I started my town chores but the hot springs pool across the street and the Yampa River just outside my door are big temptations.
