<div>Thanks for all the help. As I said this is spur of the moment and not well researched. I appreciate the snow warnings. I am going to try to plan a route closer to Mimbres RS. I will call the station tomorrow to try to get information about the conditions. </div>

I lived in this area for much of my life. I would call Ghost Ranch and ask them about transportation to Albuquerque. Tell them you are CDT hikers--they have many stopping through each summer. There is what the locals call the "blue bus" that carries people
from Chama all the way down to Espanola/Santa Fe area. There is a train from Santa Fe to Albuquerque called the Rail Runner (commuter train). The blue bus I believe is free or costs very little and I think it could get you from Ghost Ranch to Santa Fe. I am
not completely sure there is a stop at Ghost Ranch though, so call and ask. You could probably find a ride from the Ranch to Abiquiu which is about 15 miles away where you could catch the bus. People there are very accommodating and it shouldn't be hard to
find a ride or even a quick hitch. You can catch the blue bus in Chama also. Chama is about 10 miles from the trail. I think hiking into Ghost Ranch would be a stunning way to end the season's hike however.<br>

Now that I have my Glacier permit situation resolved I'm planning my CDT<br>
hike in earnest. The maps spread out in our guest bedroom look like I'm<br>
planning D-Day. ;-)<br>
<br>
At any rate, I'm putting together my clothing / outerwear list and wanted<br>
to put it out for input - thanks in advance. Main concern is staying<br>
warm.... Will be hiking from GNP to Rawlins, WY starting July 15th - am<br>
planning for summer temps......<br>

I just learned this morning that I will have 2 weeks off. Therefore I am woefully unprepared for the hike I will start this Saturday. I has intended on Colorado in June but I guess it will be Cumbres Pass to Cuba in May.<br>
Does anyone know:1)is there a safe place to leave my car in Cuba? 2)how difficult is it to find the Cumbres Pass TH3)is there any place along the way I can mail supplies to?<br>
Thanks for any help. I would have liked to have researched this better on my own but the opportunity was very sudden.<br>

Not sure about the car. Check with the Motels. (Del Prado is probably a good bet)<br>
<br>
The trail is very easy to find at Cumbres Pass. It comes under a trestle on the north side of the road. It is well marked - at least it was when I was there.
<br>
<br>
You could send supplies to Ghost Ranch. Check with them.<br>
<br>
I am a bit skeptical of your plan - there will probably be a lot of snow between Cumbres Pass and Hopewell Lake, which is about 45 miles. Much of the route varies in elevation between 10,500' and 10,900'. When there is a lot of snow in there the trail is
covered and hard to find so you should be prepared to navigate through with a GPS. SNOTEL shows Cumbres Trestle, which is just barely above 10,000', to have 24" of snow right now. You might consider starting at Hopewell Lake.
