re: Heather "Anish" Anderson begins her quest for a Calendar Year Triple Crown (CYTC)

I hiked Denver to Twin Lakes. Right at 200 miles. Maybe next year I’ll knock out another good chunk.

Starting in Denver gives you the advantage of lower altitude and easier trails for the first 80 miles. Past Breckinridge you get up to 10k’ often and stay up for most of the rest of Trail. Get the data book and Guthooks app is all you need.

Trail is really well marked. Only one spot I had to backtrack in the Holy Cross wilderness.

There are tons of mountain bikers. Most are very courteous so it wasn’t a huge problem.

Also there are many 14ers to climb. I hit Elbert but wished I had time for Massive.
