Hello all,

I really want to hike the CT, but have a very narrow window of time. I must finish by no later than July 25.  I reckon it will take me about four weeks going at a good pace.  My question is, to all of you Coloradans, do you think June 23rd or so would be too early to start from Denver?

Cheers

I’m sure you could get this question answered by checking with the Facebook group CDT17.  I know there is still a ton of snow up on the divide right now, with most hikers on the trail right now being experienced on snow.  There are a few people in this  group who can give you good information on this, one of them Jerry Brown, owner of Bear Creek Maps.  Give him a shout.

I’ll be hiking in Jul/Aug.  The Colorado Trail Association website has links to snotel sites that are relevant to the trail.  http://www.coloradotrail.org/snowandweather.html
