Sounds like the CT is now closed from Molas Pass to Durango.

Tried to edit this last post ^ Couldn't figure it out. Anyway, I got to thinking, just in case anybody was inspired to hike up Chipeta Mountain themselves, it should be noted that the name was...

I did a lot of hitching while solo section-hiking the CT over four consecutive years. I caught rides easily, but followed a few rules; You need to look at things from the driver's perspective. I...

Yesterday I hiked a few miles of Section 15, north of Marshall Pass, on my way to climb the 13er, Chipeta Mountain. Still some deep drifts that were frozen early in the morning - that only slowed me...
