There aren't many long hikes with transportation and resupply as
easy as the JMT. Having done some longer hikes I didn't find there
to be much of a problem on the CT. Hitch hiking was necessary, but
there was also Trail Angel transportation support at some of the
stops. There are bus, train and flight options between Durango and
Denver.

I have hiked portions of the CT and will concur that resupply
is difficult. There are no facilities close to anywhere - other
than maybe Copper Mountain Resort - and getting to Salida from
the trail is a very long hike out and back and can be quite a
bear - no bears were seen however. :-) The true downside of
doing the CT from Denver to Durango or vice-versa is the lack of
reasonable transport back to either of those locations after a
through-hike.
