View Full Version : CDT: East Glacier to Bob Marshall Wilderness Connie 10-20-2009, 15:37 Does anyone have trip reports? Pictures? Mags 10-20-2009, 15:48 http://www.pmags.com/joomla/index.php/Continental-Divide-Trail/magsCDT06.html Connie 10-20-2009, 16:11 Fast response. Beautiful photos. Love your stuff. East Glacier restaurants, up to Marias Pass, then? How does the trail go? I see Switchback Pass. Mags 10-20-2009, 16:23 The trail goes south over the divide. ;) (I honestly forget the details. If you are curious, go to http://www.phlumf.com/travels/cdt/cdtmaps.shtml and get the CDT maps. The price is free, but a donation is nice) Connie 10-20-2009, 17:28 Donate? I wish someone would "donate" me $3,200 so I could purchase my domain name back. I'm not "curious". It is my "backyard" so to speak. I know the region, although I am up further north a bit because I was essentially "gifted" 30-acres just east of Chief Mountain. While I was looking after the park at Swift Dam Reservoir, I did some "trail maintenance" with The East Slope Backcountry Horsemen, who have the contract with the U.S. Forest Service for trail maintenance. I am interested in details, because I have contact with all that. Mags 10-20-2009, 17:44 I am not "sure" why you are being so "cranky" I was offering "information" and I admit I was not "sure" of the fine "details". Usually when a person "asks" a "question" it means they are "curious". ;) You can download the "maps" if you want to "look up" more "detailed" "info". The "details" are avail in the "maps". To "sum" this up: I know Colorado well; I don't claim to know every detail. That's why I have maps. :) Perhaps you too can look at a map and see where the CDT goes in the area. The maps, are again, free. If you find them useful, a donation can be made if you'd like. They are not my maps...just a useful CDT resource. Cheers!:sun Connie 10-20-2009, 18:09 Okay, thank you. I was just looking at a "counter offer" for my domain name I had "lost". edit: Oh, I was "testy" because I usually contribute at the forum. I ask one time, and I have the "suggestion" I "donate" somewhere for a map. "cranky" That's it. In fact: People ask trail details all the time, here. If you recall detail, I would like to know it. If anyone else, please respond. I would like detail from a thru-hiker. garlic08 10-20-2009, 21:19 Read some journals at www.trailjournals.com (http://www.trailjournals.com). Mine is at www.trailjournals.com/gm2007 (http://www.trailjournals.com/gm2007). EllieT 10-21-2009, 06:21 There are good journals with the information you've requested at both trailjournals.com and postholer.com ARambler 10-21-2009, 08:35 There are many alternatives in this area of the cdt. If you hike it, you will want to know each alternative, you may adjust your route based on the water. South of Marias, I chose the low route with a dozen stream fords. This was based on the snow and local reports of poor trail mantenance on the "red" (standard) route. I hiked at the end of August. This would have been much colder in the spring. In general, I took the higher, shorter alternatives in the Bob. Ley has a bias for sobo's, so it should not be a surprize that nobo's will find the alternatives better. Jim Connie 10-21-2009, 20:54 This is what I was hoping for. I will take some comments, and try to get some trail maintenance. |
