The Flat Tops Adventure Trail - Colorado
Manage episode 409197793 series 2874277
The Flat Tops Adventure Trail is a 298 mile overland route in northern Colorado that was developed by Overland Trail Guides. While lesser known than the San Juan Mountains to the south, the Flat Tops certainly aren't lacking in impressiveness or grandeur. The area gets its name from a series of table-top mountains that dominate the region. These unique geological formations were created by ancient volcanic activity and erosion over millions of years.
For this episode, we chat with Eric Raymond of XplorAdventure who explored the Flat Tops Adventure Trail over the course of two separate trips in the summer of 2023.
The Flat Tops Adventure Trail
The 298 mile long Flat Tops Adventure Trail forms a loop just north of Glenwood Springs in northern CO. Lesser known than the San Juan mountains to the south, the Flat Tops sees a fraction of the trail traffic. For overlanders seeking alpine views, lakeside camping, and more challenging terrain, the Flat Tops Adventure Trail is the perfect track.
