About the Film
Building the Colorado Trail tells the story of the roughly 500-mile Colorado Trail, which connects Denver and Durango. Volunteers spent more than a decade bringing the trail to completion, and volunteers continue to maintain it today. Along the way, the trail has fostered a devoted community of hikers and outdoor enthusiasts from Colorado and around the world.
