[pct-l] CDT



The CDT goes right thru Rawlins. You have several options heading south out
of Rawlins toward Pie Town. I would recommend that whichever option you use,
be sure to cross the Zuni-Acoma Trail. This is a historic Indian trading
route across lava flows. The trail is marked by cairns and poles, but you
still have to negotiate the flows, cracks, etc of the lava. A really
interesting experience. Take lots of water!
