SHOT 9/2/18 2:55:41 PM - Vesta Lingvyte of Denver, Co. mountain bikes on the Colorado Trail near Granite, Co. Granite is a high mountain town located on the Arkansas River midway between Leadville to the north, and Buena Vista to the south. It is in close proximity to the second and third highest peaks in the contiguous United States, Mount Elbert and Mount Massive. The Colorado Trail is an established, marked, and mostly non-motorized trail open to hikers, horse riders, and bicyclists. From the eastern terminus at Waterton Canyon, southwest of Denver, the trail winds its way for 486 miles through the state's most mountainous regions, to its final conclusion, about 3.5 miles north of Durango. Along the way, it passes through eight mountain ranges, six National Forests, and six wilderness areas. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2018)
