Backpacking Rito Alto Four Pass Loop in Colorado - Part 1

Here's another great loop hike in Colorado, this time we go to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This is part 1 of a two-day trip. This is a less populated area compared to other loop hikes in Colorado, but it's far under-rated and deeply rewarding. Enjoy!
