I wore Hoka Trail Runners - really helped cushion my knees

The Colorado Trail maintains a list of people willing to shuttle. Just email them and they will send it to you. We met some of the nicest people on this list!

See you on the trail Coffee - hope you have a great hike! The worst part for me is flying into Denver - I hate flying...I would have rather walked to Denver from So Cal

Im still waiting for a current hiker to add a registry post about water or trail conditions - maybe I will be the first one! :)

I hate biting flies. I can't remember if Deet deters them. thanks for the update

Thanks Rob!!!!! It is soooo nice when mosquitoes disappear for good! Hitting the trail in 6 days!!!

Thought I would resurrect this thread - been reading a few trail journals that are stating that the mosquitoes are vicious this year, even as of today (near Salida) - What say you all? I soooo hate...

I have read up on all the provided lightning safety links everyone provided and read all your good advice. We have hiked in the Sierra's for decades and have always been very cautious when proceeding...

so if we are taking the Collegiate West route, just plan to get to the passes before noon, and get down quickly to make camp. At least that is what we are planning to do.

So far, no one has entered any trail updates into the app registries. I hope hikers start using this soon. The PCT has a water report that gets updated daily by hikers and its sooo cool. We plan on...

Hey all - best place to camp in Seg 27? we were going to camp at Taylor Lake, but I guess we need to camp below Indian Ridge so we can get over it in the morning before potential thunderstorm...

Bearcreek - we were planning on camping in Seg 27 at Taylor Lake which is right below Indian Ridge - I know we need to stop and get water there. Is this not a good idea to camp here? We have always...

This app is amazing!!!! Go it yesterday and purchased the map set. We are so excited to have all this info on my iPhone. Photos, CT Map book waypoints, registers where peeps can post water reports...

I hope your getting better! I can't believe after reading your post that last night I broke my little toe slamming it on a door! It is bruised but I can still walk on it...maybe its not broken? I...

We are starting our first CT hike July 26 - for the long stretches without water - those 20 milers - My hubby and will carry ALOT! I drink a ton of water and I would rather be safe that sorry. I will...

we are using the ZPacks Bear Bags for the CT - so nice to NOT carry bear canisters like we always have to do in the Sierras!

I love monsoons. We live in the high desert in So Cal, and get like a millimeter of rain a year. Cannot wait to leave this area and this state! Bring on the monsoons! I love storms! We just have to...

we are looking forward to a zero in Salida and Creede - from what I have read, these are very cool towns. Actually, I am looking forward to all the towns - only 46 more days! Headed out into the...

We are taking zeros in Salida and Creede. They seemed like cool towns. We are also ending the trip in Durango Labor Day weekend. But we are staying an extra day before we drive home. Only 51 more...

wel, I suppose on Day 4 - and my hunger, homemade fudge might be the deciding factor about a hitch into Jefferson! lol - I hope everyone reports back with water reports and trail conditions and just...
