all that tricky last summer. Navigation is a daily issue and we
found ourselves off trail often, but then we'd find our way back.
But the trail north of Ghost Ranch was not a particular problem.
And to second Jerry Brown, it is a really nice stop, worth a zero
if you need one.

wouldn't worry about it. Not only is the route
vastly different, the markings, the maps...
everything is different, and a lot easier to
navigate. You can still get misplaced along the
CDT at any point... most people do at some point,
but it's not usually a big deal to get back on
your way...<br>

there any lingering route problems between Ghost
Ranch and Cumbres Pass?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Karen and Dan pretty much
followed the CDTS route all the way through NM.
The early pioneer hikers on the CDT had a very
unique experience. Maybe someday I will meet
Jim Wolf and thank him for his contribution to
the CDT. And all the other CDT hikers who have
followed along.</p>
