Hopefully this is short lived. Saw this on the CT Facebook page:
BREAKING NEWS JUNE 17, The Colorado Trail. Until further notice, due to high water danger in the South Fork of the South Platte River, authorities have closed the road, trail bridge and trail at the CT Segment 1-2 division. Effectively, this closes CT Segments 1 and 2. If you were planning to start at CT Segment 1, you'll need to revise your plan and START AT CT SEGMENT 3 INSTEAD, Little Scraggy Trailhead. Authorities expect river flows to rise in coming days/weeks, and they don't yet have a date for reopening.
• Foxton Road 97 is closed where the CT crosses
• CT "Gudy Gaskill" footbridge is closed
• Effective closure of CT Segments 1 and 2
• A CT start near Denver must now begin at CT Seg 3
• Sorry for you, huge change in your CT plans
• CTF contact info is on this FB page under the "About" tab
