Support The Colorado Trail Foundation with your Contributions

Mountain trail building costs usually run $12,000 per mile. The Colorado Trail Foundation, with hundreds of volunteers, builds and maintains the CT at a cost of $500 per mile with most of the costs going toward feeding the volunteers. Your contribution will help fund this successful volunteer effort.
