Just checking to see if Segments 25-28 are now free from snow and any downed trees as we are taking horses in a couple weeks (Molas Pass to Durango). Thanks.

Snow? The entire CT is problem-snowpack free. Good to go. This is a compilation of many user reports.

Downed trees? The CT volunteers are really good but… expect to encounter a few downed trees no matter when/where you go. The timing etc of volunteer tree cutting is variable and so is the toppling of trees.

Thanks for the info. We figured the snow had melted, but didn’t know about above 12,000 feet.
We have a Pocket Chainsaw, but just wanted to make sure about large areas of downed trees which are very difficult for horses to get thru.
Thanks again.

Have not heard of any big blowdown in 2013 like the one in '12.

We backpacked segments 25-28 in June and only had a couple of trees over the trail. Seems like just segment 28.

Segment 28 was cleared the third weekend of June. Should be good now.
