Hot take: The Colorado Trail is overrated after a bad storm near Twin Lakes

Got caught in a sudden hailstorm near Twin Lakes last August. Trail turned into a muddy river in minutes. My cheap rain gear soaked through, had to bail to a lower campsite. Anyone else ditch a planned route because of weather?

Man, that sounds brutal. Getting caught in a storm like that can totally wreck a trip. Smart call to bail and get to lower ground.

Yeah, that stretch gets nasty fast when it rains.
