Krosnabanan is nowadays a trail for running, walking and biking. It used to be a railway (1895-1946) for farmers and people travelling from the depths of the Smaland woods to the coastline outside Karlskrona in Blekinge. The name of the railway (and hence the trail that was established less than 20 years ago) comes from and old Swedish word for lingon berrys (Krösnabär) and the tale says that a lot of people pick those red berrys in the woods and travelled by train to Karlskrona to sell them in a market.

Description

On Friday, October 9, 2020, I set out to create a route/attain an FKT/OKT/new route connecting each of the 10 named canyons within the boundaries of the Colorado National Monument.

The Colorado National Monument lies in western Colorado just south of Grand Junction and Fruita.  It consists of 20,500 acres of deep sandstone canyons and monoliths along the Colorado Plateau.  The area was officially established as Colorado National Monument on May 24, 1911 after John Otto spent years of research and development in preserving this as a national monument.
