My hike is soon getting here, I'm so excited! My resupply plans are for the Western Route:
1. Breckenridge, take free bus from trail to town. Stay at The Bivi or Fireside Inn overnight.
2. Twin Lakes, short walk to store. Probably just camp by lake, doesn't seem like any inexpensive places to stay overnight. Is there any place to do laundry and possibly take a shower?
3.Monarch Crest Store, hitch a ride to Salida and overnight at the Simple Lodge and Hostel. Will this be a hard hitch, what about shuttle service or cabs?
4. Lake City, take free shuttle service to town from trailhead and overnight at The Ravens Rest Hostel
5.Silverton, get shuttle service from Blair Street Hostel and overnight.
I will send mail drops to the places that I'm staying at. My goal at each place would be to do laundry, get a shower, some good meals and to recharge my electronics. I think my resupply places are easy to get rides to except maybe Salida. Any advice on improving my resupply plans or your experiences at those locations I'd like to hear about.
Also I'll be flying into Denver Airport Sunday July 2 and should be landing around 9:00am. I'm looking for a trail angel to get a ride to Waterton Canyon the same day. If anyone is interested pm or email me at
