Hey all - has anyone run the Continental Divide Trail? I have a friend who needs routing from Moab to the end of the CDT. He has been detoured by weather, and wants to pick up the trail in Colorado, or...

If you have any knowledge of possible off road routing...please let me know!

Bump because I want to know too. We're planning a trip through Ouray, CO, down into New Mexico next year, and this would be a great addition.

@Michael here's a couple of threads I found with bits of usable info. Not much in the way of routes, but there's tidbits in there. I'm sure you've already found at least some of this, but here it is.

And the most useful route info I've found...

The biggest question I haven't been able to answer is whether or not any of this route is actually trails, or if its all just gravel and paved roads. Looks like its more the latter.
