Cdt

Cdt is an easy, short out-and-back hike in New Mexico's Carson National Forest, within the Tres Piedras Ranger District. The trail is about 0.6 miles long and gains about 100 feet of elevation, so it works as a quick addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. The hike starts and ends at a low point of 9,777 feet, with a high of 9,884 feet near the middle of the route. It's an easy walk that fits easily into a longer outing, and the Forest Service manages the land. Hopewell Campground sits just 0.1 mile away, making it an easy base for an overnight stay. Spring Creek Road is about 0.3 miles off, and the Tony Marquez Trail (41) and the Cdt - New Mexico Section are both within a short drive.
