This will be a beautiful but challenging trip due to the elevation gain and significant distances. Because of the shorter days in September, trip pace will need to be moderate to fast (2.0 - 2.5 mph) with few breaks. Backpacking school badge or equivalent experience is required; either way please contact me for approval before registering. (If you register without contacting me first, I will remove you from the roster until we've had a chance to connect.)
This is a shuttle trip; it will require an early start, several vehicles, and a lot of driving time to get cars into position. If you've been stuck at Section 6 of the Colorado Trail due to the shuttling logistics, now is your chance to get through it! We will need at least 2 vehicles, but shuttle logistics may be slightly easier with 3 drivers. We will work out carpooling about 2-3 weeks ahead of the trip.
Meet at CMC base camp for carpooling. Departure time will be coordinated closer to the trip date but will likely be around 6 AM due to the time required to shuttle cars.
