    I like the way Colorado_Rob said it much better. Just be aware that snow is a real possibility. Have a great trip, and if you need help and are in Denver, send me a PM and I'll do what I can.

    I did that stretch a couple of years ago and didn't have any trouble. I planned ahead and took about 4 litres, which was enough to make it the 22 miles. It has also been a pretty wet year across...

    I saw this list, but as far as I can tell there is no way to get in touch with them. They just list their names and trail names and that they finished. No emails, etc. I was hoping to reach out.
