Hi, 

Does anyone know if there is water between Carson saddle and Spring Creek trailhead? I have checked the waypoints on the Guthook app and it does not show any. I'm just hoping there is something available that is not shown.

Thanks,
Michelle

I remember camping west of a saddle at treeline.  There was a spring 
(with requisite cows) to the east, a couple hundred yards down from the 
trail.  This was our first night, so it was probably five or six miles 
south of Spring Creek TH.  If you were heading north, you'd drop down a 
substantial ridge with a giant cairn at its top and cross the saddle.

Hopefully this isn't so vague to be useless - 15 year old memories...

Michelle,

Just finished hiking the CT southbound through this section.

There is a lot of water from snow melt on the mountains north of Carson 
Saddle.

Also, about half way to Spring creek pass is where there is a Yurt above 
a meadow (8 miles northbound from Carson).  The meadow below the Yurt is 
awash with water.  Lots of water on this section.

Lots of water all the way to Salido.

Chris

With stuff sack, foil wind screen, pot stand, instructions and extra parts,
and 22 oz fuel bottle.
$60

Homemade pot stand for tuna can alcohol stove
$2

Cocoon sleeping bag liner
Silk, dark grey/brown
Adds warmth to your sleeping bag and helps keep it clean.
Great used condition.
$10

Can anyone comment on water availability on the re-routed CDT in the 
first 5 to 8 miles south of Cottonwood Pass in Colorado?  I know there 
is water at Mirror Lake at 11+ miles.

The trail does not go by Mirror Lake any more.  The first water source going SOBO from Cottonwood Pass is at 7.1 miles, another at 11.3 miles, and another with a great campsite at  16.2 miles.

Hi all,

I?m brand new to the thread and would be really grateful for any advice that you have. I?m thinking of hiking the pct next year as my first thru hike, and I?m wondering if you all think I would be up for it. It would mean a lot to me personally to hike it (brother lives on the trail and a friend died hiking in glacier a few years ago), and if I only get to do one thru hike in my life, this is the one I?d love to do. 

My experience: longest backpacking trip I?ve been on is only 5 days, but I?m an avid outdoors person ? spend most of my weekends outside cowboy camping and fly fishing. I have good outdoors skills, above average (but most likely below pct average) map reading skills, and am very laid back/flexible.  I?d also like to finish the trip in 5 months. 

Any advice that you have, past posts or information that I?ve overlooked, or questions that I should ask myself would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Matt

Make sure you are going light. Also mental toughness is more valuable than
being a great athlete.

I agree with Sean, but also start walking a lot. Up and down trails; start with shorter hikes and build into longer hikes; don't have to carry much at the start, but add more gear using the pack you will carry on the CDT. You might want to hike in the heat also.
