They really let you park there for 5 weeks at a time?

Hello. I plan to start on July 1st and I'm wondering if anyone has found a good option for month long parking. I've contacted Sedalia RV Storage but I'm wondering if anyone else has any better ideas....

Twin Lakes has a hostel for $25 a night on AirBnB https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18909641?location=twin%20lakes%20colorado&s=4ajD3dEX

I didn't intend to sound like I felt entitled to use their facility as a storage place for free. This is my first hike where I'll need resupplies and the other few places I called had no problem...

I want to stay in one of their cabins for a night but I am unsure of when I'll make it to Sargents. I have an estimated date but I imagine they fill up fast and probably won't have a cabin available...

It is in Sargents.

Is it normal for a business to charge for storage of a mail drop? One of my stops just told me they charge per day to hold my package.

I plan to use my phone for navigation on the CT and was looking for some recommendations on apps. Do you guys use the Colorado Trail Hiker App or something different?

I was just curious how you guys charge your phone/battery pack when you go into town and you aren't staying at a hotel/hostel. Where do you plug in at?

Hey guys,

I want to do both the sides of the collegiate peaks but I'm having trouble finding reliable transportation from Salida to Twin Lakes. Does anyone know of a shuttle service that goes from...

I'm in the middle of updating my list with the stuff I plan on buying. The 76oz was the weight of my current pack, I plan to buy an Arc Haul. I changed it.

I was actually just looking at the double rainbow. REI is letting me return my Half Dome 2 so I will probably go with the single rainbow since it does look a bit roomier than most 1p tents. Do you...

My last tent was a solo and I didn't like it. I find it worth the extra weight to have more space to move around. I am in there for 1/3 of the trip after all. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I think I'm going to try to sell the bag, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag and replace it with your suggestions. That'll only cost me about $400 after selling my current supplies. I'm probably just...

Thank you. I've been looking at other people's lists where they are down to like 10 lbs base and that seemed impossible to me. Guess I wasn't sure if fuel was to be included in that measurement.

Wow, I had always thought that Zpacks were just way too expensive so I never gave it a look but the Arc Blast is over 3.5 lbs lighter than my pack and only like $75 more. If I can find a way to sell...

From your suggestions I dropped the bear supplies. Bears are always a concern for me but I have seen a few people say they aren't really an issue so I'm just going to get rid of them. Dropped the...

Hello, I've started making my gear list with all the things I already own. Base weight is at over 28 lbs so I definitely need some help. Can anyone give this a look and give me some tips?

I'm starting on July 10th. So far I've got plans made for Elbert, Massive, San Luis, Princeton, Yale, Columbia. Definitely will look into Tabaguache and Shavano.

Yep, got that on the map. My source says that it's $18. My plan is actually to do the full Collegiate Loop.

I'll be quitting my job and I'll essentially be homeless during this. My new job won't start until at least 2 months after I start the trail so I'll have all the time in the world. I'm probably going...

Yep, I watched a bit of him last night. He did the full loop then hitched from Twin Lakes to Salida (50 miles). That's probably a better idea than my original plan to do the west side, hitch to twin...

Hello everyone. I am trying to create a Google map to use on the trail. I've been slowly adding new things to do along the trail. Mostly it consists of different trails to 14ers along the way. Is...

I'm planning my thru hike and I want to do both sides of the collegiate peaks loop. Once I finish the east side, I would like to find a transportation service that would take me back up to Twin Lakes...
