I'm looking at hiking the Weminuche between Stony and Wolf Creek Pass on the CDT this Summer. I was wanting to get a few opinions on the best direction to hike, about how long it will take, best time to go, and any other information. I did 20-25 mpd pretty easily on the Colorado Trail last Summer, is the terrain pretty similar to the San Juan section on the CT? I'm going to buy the Trails Illustrated map and was just going to wait until I get out to CO before purchasing one so I'm not even sure how many miles it is from from one point to the other.
Also, I'll be starting out not acclimated to elevation and will be going with a group of people most of whom also will not be acclimated. I'm a little concerned about that as I did experience mild headaches last year even though I started out at a lower elevation on the CT near the Denver end. So I'm just wondering if this will be something dangerous or just uncomfortable.
