Hi all!

I’m planning a 2027 section hike on the CDT from the Colorado / New Mexico border north to Wolf Creek Pass and am trying to figure out the best month to do it.

I don’t have much snow travel experience and would prefer to avoid needing traction, navigation through snow, or dealing with sketchy conditions if possible.

For those who have hiked this section:

• What month would you recommend?
• How much snow is typically left?
• Any other things I should be thinking about for this section?

Appreciate any advice or lessons learned. Cheers!
