Allan Harper, a hiker from Colorado Springs, has set out to stroll 486 miles across Colorado to elevate money for  Alzheimer’s exploration. 

Harper will be traversing alongside the Colorado Trail that operates between Denver and Durango. 

“Buyers touring stop to end face the superior mountain lakes and towering peaks of six wilderness areas and eight mountain ranges as they climb virtually 90,000 vertical toes. The common elevation of the Path is 10,300 toes, topping out at 13,271 toes just down below 13,334-foot Coney Summit in southwest Colorado,” the formal Colorado Path website reads. 

Harper commenced his journey on July 15, and described creating it close to Breckenridge and Dillion Reservoir on July 20. 

Alongside the way, Harper hopes to elevate $1,000 for Alzheimer’s research. So far, he has gathered $674 of that goal. 

“My grandmother has experienced the illness for 7 yrs so my relatives is personally influenced by this terrible disease. I would tremendously respect any guidance that can be given a very hot meal when I go by a city is really nice and provides an added boost of morale even though I am out on trail,” Harper explained in an post.
