Anyone hammock on the CT?

[Big Suave]

Looking to do some of or possibly thru the Colorado Trail and was wondering if a hammock is feasible? I've gotten mixed reviews on my research, but nothing really definitive. Thanks

Thanks man, that's EXACTLY what I've been looking for.

In short, if you plan your days accordingly, you can hammock the CT. There are big stretches above treeline, but nothing that can't be hiked through in a day fairly easily. In fact, I've got three of my hammocks on loan on the CT right now.

There now is about 32 miles all above timberline from Big Buck Creek in Segment 22 to the Elk Creek drainage that is above timberline.

WARNING BLASPHEMY:

I carry a NeoAir small 8.7 oz. in my pad pocket to have the option of going to the ground. When the weather is stable it is a treat to sleep above timberline.

When did they do that re-route?

[ringtail-THFKAfood]

It is still possible to drop into Pole Creek and back up thru Bear Town, but the re-route has been complete for about two years. The re-route avoids the road walk near the Rio Grande.
