   Hello,

   We are a pair of East coast hikers that would like to hike for 7-10 days on the CDT in early June. The whole trail offers us a completely different experience from the AT. Given that many days in June where would you recommend?

   Thanks,

   Bob

     Hi Bob,

     The CDT is a very high trail. Much of it will likely still be buried under snow in early June.

     If it were me I’d try to wait another month. If I had be plan now for an early June trip I’d choose somewhere in southern New Mexico.

     I’d suggest asking your question on one of the CDT forums, or maybe the Facebook CDT page. There are many people who live near the trail with a better feel for snow levels on a year-to-year basis.

     Good luck!

     Buck
