Itinerary description

From Glen Acres you continue crossing the desert plain outside Lordsburg. Very dry, but caracteristic scenery with quite a lot of flowers. Later you start ascending on dirt roads and sandy washes. A bit after the windmill watersource the trail continues on a footpath with lots of trees that provide shade. After crossing the highway the scenery changes once again - and you’ll see pine trees for the first time.

    Hola!!! Estoy planeando hacer el CDT.
    He visto que tienes rutas en zonas de España.
    Me gustaría si te pareciese bien, poder hacerte algunas preguntas sobre el CDT, ya que tú eres alguien con experiencia.
    Espero recibir respuesta.
    Gracias de antemano.
    Jordi
