    Hey brother...watched both of your through hike videos and wow are they helpful. Amazing scenery! Loved the honesty. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I'm also a teacher with summers off. I feel like I'm following in your footsteps. I did the JMT last summer with my daughter. This summer I'm thinking CT solo. Wondering if you might help me dial in a bit. Here are a few questions. 1. rain pants? 2. Umbrella? 3. How many liters was your pack? 4. How did it stack up to the JMT? I know its like double the length but steeper climbs? Less air? Seems like it was way wetter and exposed. 5. 30 days seemed pretty tough, how would you recommend approaching it? I did a few 20's on the JMT and they took me to the brink. 6. Seems like you started around July 1st and found lots of people to connect with. If I left around July 15 would there still be a descent bubble of people? Is the weather worse in August? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Near Camp Hale and the WW2 Bunkers. It was a little bit of a scary moment, but I did my best to stay far away from the sheep (especially the kids), made myself non-threatening, and moved slowly. Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/13cANDvegHCKFcTW7

    • @trumpettran
      @trumpettran 2 роки тому

      Reports said there were a high number of people on the trail and definitely a record. I would say I saw anywhere from 20-30 people in a day (excluding bikers and day hikers)? My perception may be off. You normally "leap frog" around the same people throughout the hike. The quietest was probably Segments CW2-CW4 where I saw 5-10 a day. No lonely days on trail!

    A question, Michael. I'm planning on hiking the CT this summer and my girlfriend would like to join me for a week or so. Are there a few sections you'd recommend, bearing in mind altitude acclimatization and accessibility to a town where we can rendezvous? (She'll be flying into Denver from the east coast and is generally very fit.) Thanks in advance!

    • @trumpettran
      @trumpettran 2 роки тому

      Segments 5-8, the Collegiate West, and 20-24 were my favorite. No matter what, elevation will be a factor in those three choices. One thing you could do is start together and do segments 1-6 from Denver/Littleton to Brekenridge/Frisco.
