My hiking plans for the next 3 years have me completing the CDT and the CT. Next year specifically I plan to hike the Colorado Trail and have been thinking about how to piece it together with the CDT so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
So... starting at Rawlins, hiking south towards the CT what's the best way to roll the 2 trails concurrently most efficiently?
Just eyeballing, it looks like this idea may not even be practical since the CDT and CT run concurrently for ~200ish miles. Maybe it's a better plan to just hike the CT next year and then go back on the CDT?
In a perfect world, I'd hike south from Rawlings, get on the CT at the northern terminus and hike south to the southern terminus (coming home from Durango) and then in 2018 start in NM hiking north on the CDT until I connected with the southern terminus of the CT.
Anyway... just idle chatter this morning, guess I need to break out the maps and see.
