Continental Divide Trail

Continental Divide Trail 2021

When I hiked the CDT in 2021, heavy snow in the San Juan Mountains and fires on the Idaho-Montana border forced me to take alternate routes. The alternates allowed me to hike a continuous footpath for the entire distance from Mexico to Canada.
