SPONSORED BY CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS RHOMAR Featured Speaker: Keith Reester, City of Littleton Presenting “It’s About the Journey—500 Miles on the Colorado Trail” Friday, 9/29 | 12:00 PM We all strive to be present and live in the moment, but it’s hard in today’s fast-paced, multitasking world. In 2022, Keith Reester hiked the entire 500 miles of the Colorado Trail. Averaging over 10,300 feet, the Colorado Trail is “mile for mile the most beautiful trail in America.” Hiking 500 miles by just putting one foot in front of the other provides a unique path to assess the value of life, what it means to be present, and discover the lessons we can translate to our daily lives. Keith is the Public Works Director for the City of Littleton.
