[Cdt-l] NM Planning Help

[Doug Carlson]

Slap myself in on the side of the head- I have been to the Jim and Jenny's
side more than once and for some reason it just popped out of my memory.

 

I am looking forward to the Gila Wilderness- I have been wanting to  hike
that for years.

 

I have been "buying" Ley's maps for years, too, it seems, always hoping for
a shot at a nice section of the CDT.

 

I hope I can persuade JD to consider taking the train in Chama up to Cumbres
and then hike back from there.

 

Will see the hike gives us.

 

I watched the Francis Tapon video twice today for motivation.

 

I make colorado by June 1 I will be elated.

 

Everyone, thanks for the responses tonight.

That part is pretty straightforward... you'll hike right through most of the
potential stops...
Lordsburg
Silver City
Pie town
Grants
Cuba
Ghost Ranch

You could hitch to Reserve, which is about 1.5 days south of Pie Town to
break up that section, which is otherwise pretty long. You can also resupply
at Doc Campbell's which is about 1.5 days north of Silver City. 

The time it'll take to do each section is going to vary depending on your
style/schedule, so it's hard to get specific on that. 

After Ghost Ranch, it depends on how far north you're headed... technically,
you won't be "resupplying" after that, just "getting done".

There's a town list at:

with more details... Plus, Yogi's CDT planning guide has a lot of info on
this. 

Good luck!
