I managed to snag a Mountain Hardwear ghost whisperer down jacket and a ghost whisperer anarok from Sierra Trading Post for quite cheap. They were my top picks for gear back in 2013 and now I've got...

Bpowell, I took an 18 degree bag on my 2013 thruhike, and I got cold a couple nights when sleeping at high elevations. It depends a lot on if you are a warm sleeper or not.... I'm taking the same bag...

I forgot about this video from atop Mount Elbert:

I'll be headed northbound.... Durango to Denver. I hope to run into you guys.

In 2013 I hiked the CT, or well, most of it. I learned a lot and loved the experience. Here are some pictures from my journey:

I'm taking a zero day in Breckenridge right now. I'm reading about the West Fork Complex fires. I really don't like walking on roads, scenic or not. I'm considering doing the Collegiate Loop if the...

I've taken a good bit out of my pack. Now, I only have what I really use on a daily basis and I make my duck tape be the end all for "emergencies" Lots at good bit of weight from a not too heavy...

Great. I've got a non refundable plane ticket for Friday, planning on starting the CT sunday or monday.

They're driving their car from South Dakota and picking me up from DIA. Does Seg-3 have any views? The siblings have never been to Colorado, so I'd like them to experience a little of what it has to...

They want to camp one night, and then circle back. They come from 1500ft above sea level. They're athletic, but not acclimated. The siblings are 12 and 13 years old.

My father and little siblings would like to join me for my first day of the CT, before turning around themselves. I immediately though this would be a great idea, but now I have a concern. Would...

Durango local CT expert, "Bearcreek" advises against parking at the Durango TH (Junction Creek), claiming vandalism is likely. I would have to agree with him. While I successfully parked my vehicle...

After much discussion, we agreed... Teresa will not be doing the CT this year. I'll be going solo. Going to wrap up some details here, and book a flight for Denver probably within the next week. I...

On our way to upper Junction Creek, she started experiencing symptoms at around 9k feet, so we stopped and set up camp. Upper Junction Creek is like 7.5k, and she was feeling a lot better there. We...

Thanks Bearcreek! We're already back now, or we would have certainly took you up on that offer. Luckily, our vehicle was undamaged when we returned to it. The hike was great, and we learned a few...

I sent Bearcreek a PM yesterday, he must be busy...

We're headed out in the morning. Hopefully our truck will still be there when we return.

Yes, we won't push too hard... We have plenty of time, and I'm taking 8 days worth of food, as to have a good idea of what my heaviest pack weight will be. So, if it takes longer... So be it!

We are hoping to get to mile 18.3 of segment 27 (24 miles from THw), according to the data book, its the high point for the CT until segment 24. Once there, turn around and come back. It also gives...

We may be picked up from the Kennebec TH if something goes wrong. Which is why it was on my mind...

My bad. Yes, I feel silly. I mean the Junction Creek TH.

My hiking partner and I would like to do a short practice hike lasting 4 days (2 in, 2 out) starting from the CT western terminus, Kennebec Trailhead. We need to park our truck somewhere. We've been...

Anywho, we've hiked just about everything in Mesa Verde. We hiked some of the western CT terminus today and we'll be doing more hiking until the snow clears. Our latest gear ravs are about our GoLite...

After the CT, we will need to find new jobs. We are thinking we may settle down in Durango, to be close to family who live in Cortez. (We aren't a big fan of cortez) So, if anyone reading this is...

So, a little update... Teresa and I have had a few months of hell at work recently. Basically, one of the children I've taken care of full time for the past two years, hung herself out of her second...
