Suddenly, Durango
After our unfortunate day on Snow Mesa, we knew we wouldn’t have enough time to finish the CT outright before we had to be back home. We decided to hitch from Creede to Durango and hike north from the southern terminus to Silverton with our remaining time. With this strategy, we only had to skip 53 miles, and since they happen to overlap with the Continental Divide Trail most of the way, we hope to pick them up in the future!
