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. <br><br><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">best wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jerry Brown<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bear Creek Survey Service, LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0/1" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="address" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/1">3065 East 2nd Avenue</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0/1" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="address" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0/1">Durango, CO 81301</a></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="x-apple-msg-load://46422901-9157-4ACC-AD13-33AD0A1478A6/bearcreek@wic.net">bcss@bresnan.net</a></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="x-apple-msg-load://46422901-9157-4ACC-AD13-33AD0A1478A6/bearcreek@wic.net">www.bearcreeksurvey.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </o:p></p></div><div><br>On May 14, 2015, at 3:27 PM, michelle bracht <<a href="mailto:mbracht@live.com">mbracht@live.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

We are section hikers heading south from Canada for several years. This year we start at Twin Lakes and hope to head as far south as Chama or Ghost Ranch. I have found some references to public transportation to Albuquerque from Chama, but does anyone know
if there is public transportation from Ghost Ranch? Or have an opinion as to which is better or even have better alternatives? We could leave from Albuquerque or Santa Fe. We are completely unfamiliar with this area so any suggestions would be appreciated!
<br>
Thanks, <br>
