4th of July Backpack - CDT Wolf Creek Pass to Cumbres Pass

This is a multi-day backpack for what is considered the most beautiful setion of the CDT in Colorado. The hike itself is on a trail that is generally very well maintained. I have done the southern half of this trail and some sections of the northern half. Thus some of the terrain will be new to me as well meaing there is an exploratory component. In order to do the 65 miles in 4 days, it will be pretty healthy hikes every day (15-20 miles). The elevation gain over the distance is about 8,000 ft, so manageable.

We would leave early Thursday morning, set up the car shuttle, and start hiking. 

Newcomers to backpacking are welcome to attend! All you need is a good attitude and physical stamina!

We have the option to add Monday as a contingency day in case we move more slowly. So the exact logistics of this hike depend on group composition and preferences.

Please contact me if you are interested and we'll put a plan together that works for all participants.
