I am planning to bike pack the Colorado trail this year in July. My first time. I am planning my final load outs and gear I have to buy now. I am trying to figure which way to slant decisions. Faster easier to haul/More weight better where you are.
I am not sure about the weather there and how much coverage there is for the most part. Being on a bike I can cover a few more miles looking for a good site at the end of the day compared to a hiker.
Assuming I can't take a Minifly or Thunderfly with me.
Which would be your pick?
Large and Heeavvvyyish (2.5lb with all lines, and nearly 6l in a stuff sack) winter / tornado weather tarp.<br>Or large coverage lightweight diamond tarp ( 13' long 9' wide smaller than a naglene in a bag) and UQ protector?
Thanks
