Gear repair options in Breckenridge?
My zipper on my Durston tent is starting to go bad and not seal the teeth together. This is the second time I've had problems with it, I actually had the zippers replaced while I was on the PCT last year at trail days at the Durston tent. They worked fine for the rest of that hike. Haven't used the tent since then and now first week on the CT and one of the zippers is fucked again.
Basically just wondering if anyone knows of a place in the Breck area that can do gear repairs? Or at least sells replacement zippers?
Monarch pass camping options?
We are getting a ride from salida to monarch crest store on Thursday and heading NOBO on collegiate west. Does anyone know if there are any campsites within a couple of miles of crest store? We are arriving in afternoon and want to find shelter with storms in the forecast.
How to section out the trail?
Hello, I am planning to hike the Colorado trail over the next few years and was wondering how it is typically sectioned out for those who hike it over time? My plan would be to begin with a chunk/section near Durango as I would be able to stay there for free beforehand.
Thank you !
Lake City resupply with Elk Fire?
Looks like the Elk fire is moving closer to town. Is Lake City still a feasible resupply spot or is Creede the better option now?
