Renee's 2021 Continental Divide Trail thruhike gear list! Colorado edition!

Note: Tim and I shared some of our gear -- I carried the tarp/tent and Tim carried the cook set.

In Southern Colorado's San Juan Mountains, we carried microspikes for traction in the snow and waterproof socks to help keep our feet dry/warm in the snow and stream crossings. We sent them both home when the snow melted.
