About The CDT:

The Continental Divide Trail runs from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide. It is the youngest, most remote, and rugged of the Triple Crown Trails (PCT, CDT, AT). The terrain varies from trail, to roads, to cross-country hiking. I went into this hike quite intimidated by what lied ahead and learned over the next 4.5 months that I was stronger mentally and physically than I ever thought I could be. Almost all of these entries were posted as I hiked, using my iPhone nightly to journal in my tent, after hiking usually 20-30 miles from sun up to sun down. I know how helpful this journal can be to others preparing for a thru hike, so I made this page to hopefully ease the frustration of navigating through all my archives.
