Chris, You will have to search here but there was a good thread back in the fall or winter that had several lists on it.  One was good enough I printed it out and will use it as a guide this year.
Where in Colorado are you going?  We are undecided as of now but are narrowing the areas down.  Good luck, Bill

you might also go to kifaru.net and check out the message boards and essays.  The latter has an excellent tutorial on map and compass navigation.  If you have not been out west before, get in shape.  I found a stairmaster prepared me better than running-the muscles are used differently.  Also wear your pack alot to condition your back.  Real easy to carry too much "just in case" gear.

Ohio has the same problem as Oklahoma......no 10,000' trails to hike.   :banghead:
