Timing/pace question
I'm trying to sketch out a tentative plan for the CDT and it comes out to about 5 months, does this sound right?
NM: 7 weeks
CO: 6 weeks
WY: 3 weeks
ID/MT (Yogi cutoff, -300 mi): 6 weeks
I'm thinking in a low snow year, start CO on June 1, this would finish me up around Sept 13.
People who've done it, do these times relative to one another seem right?

Here was my splits from ‘20
Start May 30
NM - 24 days (eased into mileage, took Gila)
CO - 25 days (almost no snow, 100% CDT)
Wy - 16 days
ID/MT - 29 days (Took Anaconda but not Mack’s inn)
Total -94 including all (3) zeros and neros
My gut feel is that CO will take you longer because you will likely have more snow than I had due to my late start. Also, the winds may be hard depending on route. So much depends on start date, route and conditions but it probably isn’t a bad start.

Thanks, obviously for an 18 mpd hiker the times are longer, but I feel like the proportions are close. I wouldn't have thought CO was longer than NM, good stuff.
