Of course I'd love to just do the whole thing, but 3 weeks is all I can take off work :/
But the weekend either end would allow me exactly 21 days on trail starting July 27th.
I'm an AT thru hiker in fairly decent shape and already live at altitude (7500). I like smashing down decent miles but I also want to take advantage of vistas and colorado's recent legal change so I don't think 23 mile days are realistic! haha. I averaged about 17 miles a day thru new england, but i caused myself a few problems with that schedule.
Where would be a realistic jump off points to get back to Denver for a return flight?
