On the plus side, with all the snow, fires should be less of a problem.
<br>
Based on the record number of requests for CDT maps I've gotten thus
far this year, I'd guess there will be no shortage of hikers out there
- both NB and SB. Good luck to everyone!<br>

Glacier then Butte south flip, since you start with less snow that way,

&gt; <br>
&gt; Hello all<br>
&gt; Just to relay my plans to attempt a north-south cdt this year
starting June.<br>
&gt; Is there anyone else out there planning the same.<br>
&gt; So far I only know of one other! Looks like its going to be a
lonely trip! Is the snow putting everyone off?<br>
