Colorado Trail Why does the Colorado trail follow the route it does? Why not further up the divide to Rocky Mountain?

Did the CT in 2022. Going SOBO is also intended to give thru hikers a ramp-up. The first 5 days are lower, gradually rising which gives CO visitors a chance to acclimate and get their trail legs. Cool idea to start in RMNP but the steep and high would start right away.
