Cdt

Cdt is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Tres Piedras Ranger District of Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico. The trail is about 0.6 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 71 feet, and it starts and ends at roughly the same point, making it a quick stop for anyone already on the forest's roads or trails. The route runs between two points at about 9,780 feet and 9,868 feet, so the climb is gentle and the whole trip can be done in under an hour. It's an easy way to stretch your legs before or after a longer outing in the district. Hopewell Campground and Spring Creek Road both sit about half a mile away, and the Tony Marquez Trail (41) is about 3.5 miles off. For a longer commitment, the Cdt - New Mexico Section lies about 7 miles away.
