Alcohol & white gas resupply

imported
#1

Is denatured alcohol readily available in towns along the Colorado Trail? I know I can get it in towns like Breck and Salida, but what about the smaller ones? I don’t want to sent fuel ahead in maildrops, even assuming the PO would take it (they probably wouldn’t).

What about white gas? I may switch to a gas stove on the southern section as the temps up high drop in late September.

Go ahead and hike with the alcohol stove the entire way. There is pleny of denatured available ( or Heet/Ethyl alcohol ) in every town. The only exception being Twin Lakes. Not much there at all. You can send fuel by parcel post if it is marked correctly but I wouldn’t bother. White Gas isn’t really necessary.
