<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Dan Keyser,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would suggest the Vasquez Peak Wilderness loop that I have
been looking at but haven’t done yet. It incorporates part of the
CDT and should take 4 days (maybe 3 if you walk real fast). One day will
involve some backroad walking. Best map to get for this loop is TI 103 (Winter
Park, Central City, Rollins Pass), use the West Side.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Park car up FR 148. Use backroads to get to base of
Byers Peak ridge. Take St. Louis Divide Trail around the St. Louis Creek
valley. Join up with CDT along Mt. Nystrom Trail. Take CDT back to
above Berthoud Pass. (I recommend going off trail here to climb Vasquez
Peak, well worth it if the weather is good.) Then continue north on Mt.
Nystrom trail to Winter Park Ski Area and find your way back to FR 148.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There are numerous loops to be done in the Indian Peaks as
well. These would definitely fit in the 4-6 day time range.
Parking is a bitch at Hessie or 4<sup>th</sup> of July THs. Recommend TI 102
(Indian Peaks, Gold Hill) to investigate these.<o:p></o:p></p>
