@@martintrj5620 Don't Wait!!! Even if you go for a week or two! I learned the hard way and when I got my life back (but also took early retirement through a Corp Package)...but I packed it all up and put into storage, then traveled the US Highways that took me to the entire West Coast, East Coast, Southern Fla and Key West, over to Naples on Gulf Side of Fla and then to South Padre Island in South Texas;;;;All The Ocean Fronts and Beaches. Then I traveled to UK to visit my son and his family and also Coach for a week at a Youth Leadership Bootcamp. Then I flew to France to start walking the Camino de Santiago which started in France and I finished in Santiago de Compostela, Spain! Be open to what is and what is will come into your life :) :)
Starting the AT in two months at the tender age of 54 with the goal of triple crowning before 60. Thanks for helping to put it all in perspective for me. Your journey is truly inspiring.
Are you going alone? I want to do it in a year or two. We are close in age. I’m glad you are going. I sometimes think that since I’ve raised my kids, my life is over. I wish you so much luck,
Good luck with your journey. I’m 50 this year and want to try it when I retire hopefully in 3 more years. I need to practice and get in better shape first but I have always loved hiking. I let myself get discouraged cause I have to do mostly on my own. I plan on starting winter hiking to avoid so many bugs and snakes,😂.
half a harir from death. that cat was contemplating, like your house cat when there not sure exactly what there thinkin............it was thinkin fight or flight. they dont turn because they measure by there selves. they attack when u turn. or from behind. it wasent hungry and didnt want to show its tail. but didnt feel threatened enough. what did dix say holy guacamole yaw. sums it up.
I'm brave as hell about a lot of things, but that cat would have definitely given me a code brown, staring at me like that lol Dixie is one of the coolest chicks I know of 😎
I once had this, with carbon poles. In the middle of Summer, but I was below the tree line so I put the poles a good 30 feet away and sat down and waited..... got VERY wet, but what an awsome spectacle.... WOW
“I just wanna be outside”🤣 That mountain lion experience was pretty awesome. Photography being such a huge part of my life it worries me that I’ll want to stop and wait for good light at good spots instead of getting my miles in lol.
I’ve been with you every step of the way. Sadly, I was planning my AT Thru Hike when I was involved in a head on collision. I was permanently disabled with a severe foot injury; and I’ll never get to do it. So thank you for letting me travel along vicariously through your journeys. It’s been a joy being a fan and a benefactor. Looking forward to what’s next.
Dixie, what a spectacular hike. Thanks for taking all of these videos and sharing them with us. Be sure to share the love with Aaron (dude, heckuva trail to pick for your first through hike!) and of course, Perk. Those guys are true friends, troopers, and exactly the sort of HIKER TRASH that we are all better off to have in our lives. Y'all ROCK!
1:19:30 was giving me a heart attack, when hair stands up and static that means electricity is running through the ground for lighting withing 1,000 feet of your location!!!
I enjoy seeing all the views when hiking but I would like to see more of them setting up camp. How to choose good spots, protect food and self from creatures, build fires, etc. Cannot stop watching these thru hikes. Man, I really want to be out there! Thanks for sharing Dixie. Love from Texas💖🌏☺
34:40 Can anyone tell me how to look for videos of people as a couple or community, buy and package, then mail food? How do i even start to search for that, This looks so real and I have never done it before, and I'd love some tips. People just showing what food to take before they leave for a hike or camping is helpful but a more vlog style I think I'd appreciate.
I just retired following 32 great years of service to our great country (U.S. Army Special Operations) Dixie you are the one person that has inspired me to travel to Georgia to begin the AT on the 1st of March, 2021. Soon I will be leaving Phoenix Arizona and heading to begin my journey on the AT. Thank You. You Inspire Me.
@@hyperdoge3908 Yes my buddy and i did the hike. A section hike of the Shanondoas (Spelling) to get a feel. I loved it and returned with another Army buddy and we hiked another long section. Currently in the Philippines now preparing for a 40 mile adventure hike around an entire island.
@@fortuneinternationalsemina3461 Awesome! You're inspiring as well. Thanks for your 32 years, lets hope we can get to our young people, to be patriots again:)... That Philippines hike is certainly creative, I'm gonna look into that I'm curious about that one
You can participate in the live chat during the video if you’d like! Just click the “live chat” button under the video. Excited to watch it with all of you! Happy New Year! 🎊🎆🎈
Thank you. I’m planning my first hike on the AT first I’m going to be stationed in SAsebo, Japan where I will start my training. I retire in 6 years at 47. You have been a huge inspiration to myself and everyone who watched it. Everyday is a new adventure.
Slice some lemon stuff it in the water gargle spit out when you have dry mouth. Wow incredible mountain view thanks for sharing your video. Hiking trails here in the states stretch for miles. Am from a small island hiking trails would not take five days to finish.
Omg tears of joy for you! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A TRIPLE CROWNER. I’m starting with the AT in the beginning of 2021. I’ve already been saving for equipment and buying a piece every month. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ✨ Be the light you were born to be ✨-K
as someone raised in CO, when you ran into the mountain lion I almost crapped my pants. I've only ever seen footprints in my backyard.... in school they taught us what to do when we ran into bears, deer, moose, etc. when they got to mountain lions they basically just said good luck.
Crazy. I think they are scary, but If you're loud and big they will leave. I probably would have screamed like a maniac at it to go away. I'm more scared when I can't see them, because then they might be stalking me.
Just finished watching at the end of the first day of 2021. Last year was hard. Lost my sister and best friend who had cancer to Covid. She and I grew up.back country hiking and camping as kids. Our gear was old and too big for our little frames but we loved it. I'll dedicate my thru hikes to my sister. ♥️
What a fantastic documentary not only of the CDT trail but of perseverance and the power of the will. Thank you for the sharing and congrats on the achievement. Regarding the filming and editing it’s fantastic.
That made me laugh so hard. You hear this heavy breathing and then some shuffling, and then I expect her to take out some bear mace and what I hear next are....musical notes. lol
Absolutely an amazing journey! I loved watching you on the AT, I was white-knuckled on PCT, dumbstruck on CDT by your courage and tenacity! Hopefully, you will realize how much impact you’ve had on people who are just beginning to find their adventurous side. Loved every minute of it! Can’t wait for more! Aaron is a rockstar! Who does that trail out of the gate! Your insight and personality and his editing (and apparent tenacity too!) , is a winning combination.
That was so inspirational. Cannot believe I watched the whole thing in one sitting. It was beautiful, relaxing, and made such a connection to nature for the viewer. Well done! Congratulations! Will be looking up your other Thru-hikes.
I did not know if I could watch the whole video but I did and I got to tell you you're one Brave little lady. I laughed, got scared hungry and cold. Above all you helped me think about some things in my life. Thank you and your friends for the journey.
Just now watching this last video kinda late but I have watched all the others and your videos are the only 2hr videos I have ever watched the entire way thru...lol. Great Editing Aaron! amazing music!

38:05 it was really interesting to watch that mountain lion assess the situation for as long as it did. Creepy, but cool too. 1:19:09 I would have been way more freaked out by the humming poles than you were lol 1:30:32 that shot is cool. No idea how you get that close lol 1:45:30 What the hell is that thing?! 1:57:58 that's just the sound of the damned souls yearning for reprieve, just go back to sleep Amazing journey. I wish I could even do a quarter of this
I am watching you! I am encouraged by and learning from you and for that, thank you! My life, is deeply lacking the adventure I crave…. Being the father of two minor children and experiencing the shared custody of them, I fought so hard for… my deeper adventure has to be postponed for the time being. I enjoyed this video. Good luck to you, congratulations and may your adventure continue.
Congratulations to you, Aaron and Perk for this amazing accomplishment! Kudos for a job well done. What an adventure. Your filming prowess was incredible.
Your trip is very inspiring! I've always wanted to do the CDT and never made the time. I'm months away from retirement and you've convince me to make the trek.
If you're subscribed you'll already know, but just in case you aren't, Dixie and her sister Montana hiked the Camino in Spain/France this autumn. It's on her channel :) I thought it'd be a shame if you weren't aware and noone told you. Happy holidays.
I know the toaster house well. I was a firefighter there for a few years. I met a few hikers over the years and have some great memories of that place.
I think Dixie needs her own show, traveling the world and hiking trails...I mean at this point I fully expect her to say something like, “For my next trick I will climb all the 8000+ meter mountains”.....WDE Dixie....
O.M.G!!!!!! Wow, just wow. There should be some kind of award for this! This is an amazing documentary. I was holding my breath during the trek across the scree and the snow! My knees would be weak when the camera panned down the slope. The moose encounter was spectacular. I felt like I was there for every step. Congratulations on your Triple Crown!
Wow, I have been hiking for 45 years and never came that close to a mountain lion (that I could see). You were really fortunate to have that encounter with a mountain lion, although it may have been scary at the time.
Awe! I’ve watched all three of your Triple Crown thru-hikes, in order, and when you touched the northern terminus of the CDT, in Canada,I started crying with you. I lived vicariously through you, the whole time, sometimes cheering you on, sometimes arguing with the trail, animals, and weather conditions, but I was along with ya, the entire ride. Thank you. I’ve thought about hiking the AT for a few years, and I’ve decided to start thru-hiking because of you. I’ve finally gotten to a place in my life where I like myself and have no more regrets about life, so I’m psychologically ready to accept, and take responsibility for, anything that happens on the trail. Thank you, you’ve given me the courage to do it. ❤
I went on my first solo backpacking trip last April, and I remember thinking how cool it was to be out backpacking by myself at the same time as you were hiking the CDT. And now, I'm starting the PCT on April 6th! Might be a long shot, but I would seriously die of happiness if I bumped into you and your mama out on the trail :)
I’m sitting here watching this, watching you go up and over Gray’s Peak, and thinking there’s no way I’ll ever be able to do that. I have Triple Crown aspirations starting with the PCT in 2023, the AT in 2024 then the CDT in 2025. How do you convince yourself to not turn around and quit? That looked terrifying! Mad props to you ❤️
Dixie I don't think you realize how much danger you were in with the mountain lion encounter. Did you know that they can leap 45 feet? That is with a running start. If no running start a good 20-30 feet. Also....the bears....they are SO FAST. I lived in the mountains and a black bear was near my chicken coop with her cubs climbing on the coop. I was 3 feet from my door and scared it with a very loud noise and it ran in the opposite direction and ran right through a wire fence. If it would have ran in my direction I wouldn't have even made it in the door. Seriously. They are FAST animals. The bear hit the fence which was a farther direction than the distance from me to my door!!!!
1:43:06 "God bless a milk cow!" LOL 🤣God bless you, girl, you brought back so many good (and crazy scary) memories of my days backpacking in the Canadian Rockies, sometimes alone, too. There's just no feeling like it, eh? What a great story!❤
Seen this before, but I'm sitting here this morning drinking my coffee just loving rewatching this. Thru-hiking a shorter trail next month but I'm so excited!
I just finished watching this..it’s 11:39pm on May 20th here right now in Md...I’ve watched a lot of thru hiking videos over the past few months but nothing that compares to this. I felt like I was with you...the beauty at points took my breath away even sitting on my couch streaming this to my 65” tv. I paused the video several times just to enjoy the beauty. You are truly an Amazing woman!! I’m a grown man and I have to admit I teared up at the end when completed your Triple Crown!!! Thank you so much for taking us all along on this Adventure. Now I have to go back and watch all your other videos because this one just started playing after another video I was watching... Thanks again...I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you next!! Don’t let that “Mummy” Ever catch up!!
I have just loved watching your videos. As a woman beginner hiker, I hear a lot of “you shoulds” and “you can’t”. I love to hear your encouragement of YOU CAN! What a victory you celebrated in Canada! Awesome job!
What would you rank the 3 trails in difficulty?? This one seems like it has more difficulty simply for the untended parts and even unmarked areas of the trail. So navigation seems much harder here than the AT or PcT.
I love nature too! I just moved to Colorado and it's now a goal of mine to complete the CDT too someday :) Thanks for being such a cool inspiration in the hiking world.
I can’t begin to describe how proud I am of you for completing not only the CDT but the triple crown. You have enough will and determination for any three people. I had tears in my eyes when you reached Canada. As you stated, it was bittersweet. May God protect you on all your future adventures.
I forgot to mention in my other comment about the static electricity. I grew up on the coast of South Carolina and I have done a lot of fishing along the South Carolina coast as well as off of the coast of Florida. It is in fact a very spooky and eerie feeling when you were out on the water and a thunderstorm is approaching and not only have I been in situations where the hair on my arms and my head floated into the air but we have been on the Gulf of Mexico before with a storm approaching and it literally lifted our fishing lines out of the water. That’s when you know it’s time to get the hell out of Dodge. It is an uncomfortable feeling being on a boat or a golf course or out in the middle of a big field when a storm comes up suddenly. You do not want to be the highest object on a very open flat surface so I can imagine on some of those trails when there aren’t any trees or any cover how uncomfortable and nervous it can get when a big storm comes up.
I hiked that Gila last yera. Gorgeous. I recognize that Alabama accent. Im working in Mobile fr Pilot, saving up cash for another hike!! love the video.
Those are wolf tracks that you are coming across. The wolves there are the smaller Mexican or prairie wolf. The bigger wolf is the Canadian gray. Or what we call the timber wolf. They will be in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
@@ScottyDMcom a no, Lewis and Clark noted that there was a difference between the prairie wolf and the coyote. My Grandfather protected his sheep from wolves in central Idaho back in the 1920's. He noted there was a big difference between the two different wolves also. He said that the timber wolf was way more aggressive
I’m so proud of myself, I just hiked the CDT at 2am from my hotel room in Prattville Alabama. Maybe I can make the triple crown before sunrise. JK thx for the awesome video Dixie.
This is 10 times better than any National Geographic . What a scenery and what a determination, what a girl..... Love your positive attitude and your take on life. Take care and thanks for posting.....
Dixie im so glad that i found you 3 years ago .i was at a very low point in my lifehaving just had valve replacement surgery .you have grown so much during the triple crown, your mama must be really proud!
Wow, that is one strong girl. I admire your determination and courage. Several dangerous parts, hair standing on end at 1:19:21, moose so close, bears, snow in Glacier Park. You did a great job of filming, editing. Even carried a drone. Best parts are Colorado and Wind River Mtns in Wyoming. Many places in video did not even have a trail. Lots of mountain goats in Colorado. You should be very proud of yourself. You will have this video and the memories forever. Life is not things but experiences. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.
What an intense journey and such a well done documentary. Kudos to ya'll! So many exquisite views, so much wildlife! The mountain lion scene was hair raising. Loved the mountain goats looking at you like 'what the heck are you two legged critters doing up in our home' lol. Very well done, should be on NatGeo!
This is an absolutely amazing movie! I have watched you through all three hikes and you are an inspiration! Congratulations on your triple crown and THANK YOU for bringing us along the way!! (Aaron....perfect editing! Thanks to you too!)
the shot of your legs shaking after Grays Peak was priceless 1:14:23, anyone who has done their share of climbing knows that feeling...great story telling ;)
what an excellent story....so well done...the photography was exceptional, loved the up close shots on the trail, to see the smallest wonders to those amazing encounters with the mountain lion, the bears & that moose day was unbelievable...congratulation on your accomplishments and continued adventurers and safe trekking...Namaste

Good luck with your journey. I’m 50 this year and want to try it when I retire hopefully in 3 more years. I need to practice and get in better shape first but I have always loved hiking. I let myself get discouraged cause I have to do mostly on my own. I plan on starting winter hiking to avoid so many bugs and snakes,😂.
Me: Wow over 2 hours what a long documentary
Also Me: oh yeah ... Dixie hiked for like HALF A YEAR
Love your last name😆
I vicariously hiked the entire CDT in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Thanks for sharing your amazing journey.
Most people choose either fight...or flight, when encountering an apex predator: Dixie plays the harmonica. Girl, you are cool as a cucumber!
half a harir from death. that cat was contemplating, like your house cat when there not sure exactly what there thinkin............it was thinkin fight or flight. they dont turn because they measure by there selves. they attack when u turn. or from behind. it wasent hungry and didnt want to show its tail. but didnt feel threatened enough. what did dix say holy guacamole yaw. sums it up.
I'm brave as hell about a lot of things, but that cat would have definitely given me a code brown, staring at me like that lol
Dixie is one of the coolest chicks I know of 😎
The part with the electricity in the air making her hair stand up and trekking poles buzzing.....WOW!! Holy crow!!
That was freaky, but I was more scared for them hiking the pass in a whiteout!
I once had this, with carbon poles. In the middle of Summer, but I was below the tree line so I put the poles a good 30 feet away and sat down and waited..... got VERY wet, but what an awsome spectacle.... WOW
“I just wanna be outside”🤣
That mountain lion experience was pretty awesome. Photography being such a huge part of my life it worries me that I’ll want to stop and wait for good light at good spots instead of getting my miles in lol.
This is better than 90% of whats on TV!
*100%
Agreed
100% to b more accurate
Better than ANYTHING on TV. What do you think is better the news that lied to us about 9/11, or the propaganda called movies that program our minds?
Much better than anything on TV. Great viewing.
I’ve been with you every step of the way. Sadly, I was planning my AT Thru Hike when I was involved in a head on collision. I was permanently disabled with a severe foot injury; and I’ll never get to do it. So thank you for letting me travel along vicariously through your journeys. It’s been a joy being a fan and a benefactor. Looking forward to what’s next.
YOU choose what defines you, hike your own path with a smile! Best of luck!
BvS thank you 😊
Similar thing happened to me I would love to take a hike. No one really knows till it happens to them .Best wishes I hope you get better.
nautiquecowboy nautiquecowboy Much Thanks! Blessings to you!
WeBHeelin maybe go and do some trail magic and still be a part of the trail
Watching this in March 2020, in lockdown in the UK due to Corona virus. Trails closed, watching this to keep sane while unable to go walking...
@Jack Obrein Shut up, idiot.
I’m watching this in Doha Qatar, where it’s 47c outside. Keeping me sane and I’ve been in my apartment since March. It’s July now.
It must suck to live under that kind of tyranny. Move to the US, you'd likely love it.
@Jack Obrein Thank you for being woke my friend 👊.
No one EVER stopped us walking in NSW, U.K sounds like the peoples republic of Victoria with Dear Leader Dan.
Anyone else coming back for a marathon of all her thru-hike documentaries?
She's got me getting ready to do the AT in 2023. Watched them all and I think out of the three I can do the AT. I'll be 61
@@annebarch7751 That’s cool! Good luck!!👍
@@hihi-lu4mh thanks
@@annebarch7751are you hiking it now? We need an update!
I watched this two years ago, I still remember the joy I felt back then, watching it again is just as great.
Dixie, what a spectacular hike. Thanks for taking all of these videos and sharing them with us. Be sure to share the love with Aaron (dude, heckuva trail to pick for your first through hike!) and of course, Perk. Those guys are true friends, troopers, and exactly the sort of HIKER TRASH that we are all better off to have in our lives. Y'all ROCK!
This is one of the most epic things I’ve ever seen. Girl, you’re amazing. I hope my girls grow up to be as brave as you :).
1:19:30 was giving me a heart attack, when hair stands up and static that means electricity is running through the ground for lighting withing 1,000 feet of your location!!!
I enjoy seeing all the views when hiking but I would like to see more of them setting up camp. How to choose good spots, protect food and self from creatures, build fires, etc. Cannot stop watching these thru hikes. Man, I really want to be out there! Thanks for sharing Dixie. Love from Texas💖🌏☺
She does have so many information videos. Have you checked those. These are meant to be more of a chronicle of her journey.
If you watch the playlist it has more of those details. This is the condensed version
34:40 Can anyone tell me how to look for videos of people as a couple or community, buy and package, then mail food? How do i even start to search for that, This looks so real and I have never done it before, and I'd love some tips. People just showing what food to take before they leave for a hike or camping is helpful but a more vlog style I think I'd appreciate.
I just retired following 32 great years of service to our great country (U.S. Army Special Operations) Dixie you are the one person that has inspired me to travel to Georgia to begin the AT on the 1st of March, 2021. Soon I will be leaving Phoenix Arizona and heading to begin my journey on the AT. Thank You. You Inspire Me.
did u do it
@@hyperdoge3908 Yes my buddy and i did the hike. A section hike of the Shanondoas (Spelling) to get a feel. I loved it and returned with another Army buddy and we hiked another long section. Currently in the Philippines now preparing for a 40 mile adventure hike around an entire island.
@@fortuneinternationalsemina3461 Awesome! You're inspiring as well. Thanks for your 32 years, lets hope we can get to our young people, to be patriots again:)... That Philippines hike is certainly creative, I'm gonna look into that I'm curious about that one
@@fortuneinternationalsemina3461 oh so you
You can participate in the live chat during the video if you’d like! Just click the “live chat” button under the video. Excited to watch it with all of you! Happy New Year! 🎊🎆🎈

Happy New Year and Happy Trails!
Excellent movie. Congratulations to you and Aaron for both the “hike” and giving us a chance to experience the hike through your eyes.
Thank you. I’m planning my first hike on the AT first I’m going to be stationed in SAsebo, Japan where I will start my training. I retire in 6 years at 47. You have been a huge inspiration to myself and everyone who watched it. Everyday is a new adventure.
Slice some lemon stuff it in the water gargle spit out when you have dry mouth.
Wow incredible mountain view thanks for sharing your video.
Hiking trails here in the states stretch for miles. Am from a small island hiking trails would not take five days to finish.
Omg tears of joy for you! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A TRIPLE CROWNER. I’m starting with the AT in the beginning of 2021. I’ve already been saving for equipment and buying a piece every month. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ✨ Be the light you were born to be ✨-K
DownTh RabitHole saving for the cdt next spring. Can’t thru hike it but I can do it in sections over 2 years or so.
Hike at least a hundred miles on a trail before you say you're going to become a triple crowner
Im planning the AT 3/2021 hopefully we open up our country by then.
I'll be doing the AT starting March 15 2021. Can't wait .
@@jamesbooker9411 no need to be negative. Dixie's first thru-hike was the AT.
as someone raised in CO, when you ran into the mountain lion I almost crapped my pants. I've only ever seen footprints in my backyard.... in school they taught us what to do when we ran into bears, deer, moose, etc. when they got to mountain lions they basically just said good luck.
Crazy. I think they are scary, but If you're loud and big they will leave. I probably would have screamed like a maniac at it to go away. I'm more scared when I can't see them, because then they might be stalking me.
Glock 26 comes in real handy right there. All states allow you to carry while doing sports like this. It’s extra weight though.
Cool
Just finished watching at the end of the first day of 2021. Last year was hard. Lost my sister and best friend who had cancer to Covid. She and I grew up.back country hiking and camping as kids. Our gear was old and too big for our little frames but we loved it.
I'll dedicate my thru hikes to my sister. ♥️
I'm so sorry for your loss!
What a fantastic documentary not only of the CDT trail but of perseverance and the power of the will. Thank you for the sharing and congrats on the achievement. Regarding the filming and editing it’s fantastic.
37:05 ...aaaand she pulls out her concealed carry... ...harmonica, of course! roflmao
That made me laugh so hard. You hear this heavy breathing and then some shuffling, and then I expect her to take out some bear mace and what I hear next are....musical notes. lol
Absolutely an amazing journey! I loved watching you on the AT, I was white-knuckled on PCT, dumbstruck on CDT by your courage and tenacity!
Hopefully, you will realize how much impact you’ve had on people who are just beginning to find their adventurous side. Loved every minute of it! Can’t wait for more!
Aaron is a rockstar! Who does that trail out of the gate! Your insight and personality and his editing (and apparent tenacity too!) , is a winning combination.
40:46 I need this on a T Shirt "Homemade Wanderlust" on the front and "Whatever. The devil's comin'." on the back
That was so inspirational. Cannot believe I watched the whole thing in one sitting. It was beautiful, relaxing, and made such a connection to nature for the viewer. Well done! Congratulations! Will be looking up your other Thru-hikes.
I did not know if I could watch the whole video but I did and I got to tell you you're one Brave little lady. I laughed, got scared hungry and cold. Above all you helped me think about some things in my life. Thank you and your friends for the journey.
Thomas Droher Thank you, Thomas! I appreciate your feedback & you watching .
Just now watching this last video kinda late but I have watched all the others and your videos are the only 2hr videos I have ever watched the entire way thru...lol. Great Editing Aaron! amazing music!

ชอบคะ💞👍
I'm disappointed you didn't mark "Flyswatter Man".
My wife and I will never forget you blowing you harmonica as you met that mountan lion on the trail. Music soothes the savage beast!
Most likely
38:05 it was really interesting to watch that mountain lion assess the situation for as long as it did. Creepy, but cool too.
1:19:09 I would have been way more freaked out by the humming poles than you were lol
1:30:32 that shot is cool. No idea how you get that close lol
1:45:30 What the hell is that thing?!
1:57:58 that's just the sound of the damned souls yearning for reprieve, just go back to sleep
Amazing journey. I wish I could even do a quarter of this
I am watching you! I am encouraged by and learning from you and for that, thank you! My life, is deeply lacking the adventure I crave….
Being the father of two minor children and experiencing the shared custody of them, I fought so hard for… my deeper adventure has to be postponed for the time being. I enjoyed this video. Good luck to you, congratulations and may your adventure continue.
Congratulations to you, Aaron and Perk for this amazing accomplishment! Kudos for a job well done. What an adventure. Your filming prowess was incredible.
1:45:00 that is a female cricket and shes laying eggs in the ground.
Incredible thank you
Your trip is very inspiring! I've always wanted to do the CDT and never made the time. I'm months away from retirement and you've convince me to make the trek.
I am hiking the CDT this year... CAN"T WAIT
The only time I have been in Colorado was August of 1973, it rained every afternoon about 2:00 for the whole week I was there
Perk: "I hear sounds."
This man is clearly the best hiking partner. I'm gonna need to borrow him for my AT hike.
Popcorn, er ... Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips by the TV chair. Ready to watch!
So sad this was the last one - I've enjoyed watching SO much but so happy for you!!
If you're subscribed you'll already know, but just in case you aren't, Dixie and her sister Montana hiked the Camino in Spain/France this autumn. It's on her channel :)
I thought it'd be a shame if you weren't aware and noone told you.
Happy holidays.
I cried when you made it to Canada 🏁🇨🇦
Congratulations 🎉👸🏼👑👑👑
Thru hiking is a true blessing of being alive during this time on Earth. Thanks for taking us with you.
I know the toaster house well. I was a firefighter there for a few years. I met a few hikers over the years and have some great memories of that place.
Brilliant.....that needs to be on Nat Geo
I totally agree. They will reauire that it be trimmed down to 80 minutes or less.
Ditto!!!!
I think Dixie needs her own show, traveling the world and hiking trails...I mean at this point I fully expect her to say something like, “For my next trick I will climb all the 8000+ meter mountains”.....WDE Dixie....
NatGeo sucks now. This is way better than anything they are producing these days.
Really? It's not that good. It's just a bunch of clips strung together
O.M.G!!!!!! Wow, just wow. There should be some kind of award for this! This is an amazing documentary.
I was holding my breath during the trek across the scree and the snow! My knees would be weak when the camera panned down the slope. The moose encounter was spectacular. I felt like I was there for every step. Congratulations on your Triple Crown!
Wow, I have been hiking for 45 years and never came that close to a mountain lion (that I could see). You were really fortunate to have that encounter with a mountain lion, although it may have been scary at the time.
I’m sure it got her pulse racing !
I was MESMERIZED with this video!! This is one TOUGH GURL!!
Awe! I’ve watched all three of your Triple Crown thru-hikes, in order, and when you touched the northern terminus of the CDT, in Canada,I started crying with you. I lived vicariously through you, the whole time, sometimes cheering you on, sometimes arguing with the trail, animals, and weather conditions, but I was along with ya, the entire ride. Thank you.
I’ve thought about hiking the AT for a few years, and I’ve decided to start thru-hiking because of you. I’ve finally gotten to a place in my life where I like myself and have no more regrets about life, so I’m psychologically ready to accept, and take responsibility for, anything that happens on the trail. Thank you, you’ve given me the courage to do it. ❤
This is an excellent movie! The photography and editing are stunning.
I literally can watch this over and over. I cry every time with Jess at the end. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I went on my first solo backpacking trip last April, and I remember thinking how cool it was to be out backpacking by myself at the same time as you were hiking the CDT. And now, I'm starting the PCT on April 6th! Might be a long shot, but I would seriously die of happiness if I bumped into you and your mama out on the trail :)
I’m sitting here watching this, watching you go up and over Gray’s Peak, and thinking there’s no way I’ll ever be able to do that. I have Triple Crown aspirations starting with the PCT in 2023, the AT in 2024 then the CDT in 2025. How do you convince yourself to not turn around and quit? That looked terrifying! Mad props to you ❤️
She inspired me to want to be a triple crowner also. I thruhiked the AT in 2022. Two more trails to go!!!
This is several hours too short
You saw a lot of wildlife! I was most nervous for you when you came across the mooses! Loved watching your adventure!

Lol. I would have cursed.
Beautiful videography...love following along on your adventures, Dixie! Congratulations!! 👑👑👑
The trilogy; as in the Return of the King, or in your case, "Return of the Queen!" Your hiking adventures have truly been amazing!
Dixie I don't think you realize how much danger you were in with the mountain lion encounter. Did you know that they can leap 45 feet? That is with a running start. If no running start a good 20-30 feet. Also....the bears....they are SO FAST. I lived in the mountains and a black bear was near my chicken coop with her cubs climbing on the coop. I was 3 feet from my door and scared it with a very loud noise and it ran in the opposite direction and ran right through a wire fence. If it would have ran in my direction I wouldn't have even made it in the door. Seriously. They are FAST animals. The bear hit the fence which was a farther direction than the distance from me to my door!!!!
I do realize! It was crazy
Absolutely inspired, I absolutely enjoyed watching, & following your Triple crown adventure. Outstanding content, keep showing up. Thanks
Very inspiring, hank you for documenting your journey. It was amazing to watch.
The way you handled that mountain lion was awesome haha the perfect cowgirl
time?
A quality documentary on the through hike CDT, inspirational to say the least .
1:43:06 "God bless a milk cow!" LOL 🤣God bless you, girl, you brought back so many good (and crazy scary) memories of my days backpacking in the Canadian Rockies, sometimes alone, too. There's just no feeling like it, eh? What a great story!❤
Guess i'll just say it again... "Tough as Nails." Aaron and Perk, you guys rock! Thank you for taking us with you. :)
Great journey, wise moves, and a lovely, poetic life experience. Loved it. Thank you Dixie girl!
Even though I’ve watched all the vlogs for the cdt I’m ready to see how the movie turns out!
Movie was fantastic as usual! Dixie you’re my idol!
Seen this before, but I'm sitting here this morning drinking my coffee just loving rewatching this. Thru-hiking a shorter trail next month but I'm so excited!
I just finished watching this..it’s 11:39pm on May 20th here right now in Md...I’ve watched a lot of thru hiking videos over the past few months but nothing that compares to this. I felt like I was with you...the beauty at points took my breath away even sitting on my couch streaming this to my 65” tv. I paused the video several times just to enjoy the beauty. You are truly an Amazing woman!! I’m a grown man and I have to admit I teared up at the end when completed your Triple Crown!!! Thank you so much for taking us all along on this Adventure. Now I have to go back and watch all your other videos because this one just started playing after another video I was watching... Thanks again...I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you next!! Don’t let that “Mummy” Ever catch up!!
Favorite part was “heyyy guys” and they all run off.....the whole herd. Lol.
I have just loved watching your videos. As a woman beginner hiker, I hear a lot of “you shoulds” and “you can’t”. I love to hear your encouragement of YOU CAN! What a victory you celebrated in Canada! Awesome job!
Go on with your self, Kathlene!! This stranger & fellow beginner is rooting for you (us) every step of the way!!
What would you rank the 3 trails in difficulty?? This one seems like it has more difficulty simply for the untended parts and even unmarked areas of the trail. So navigation seems much harder here than the AT or PcT.
Just realized homies name is perk. I’ve been thinking “perc” like short for Percocet this whole time
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
All I can say is WOW. Truly awesome.
I love nature too! I just moved to Colorado and it's now a goal of mine to complete the CDT too someday :)
Thanks for being such a cool inspiration in the hiking world.
Hey Jessica. Fish Tank here, we met on the PCT in 2019. Just saw your video, i start the CDT in 20 days :-)
Wish me luck :-)
Fish Tank
Starting the CDT at the tender age of 69 next spring (2024). This video is certainly my inspiration!
A saying we have here in Colorado for the weather is: 5 minutes or 5 miles. The wearer changes so frequently every day, especially during the summer
Next is the north country trail??
Great video. I knew you had to be a home girl (by the accent) before I saw that you are from Opelika. Way to represent Good Ol' Dixie.
I can’t begin to describe how proud I am of you for completing not only the CDT but the triple crown. You have enough will and determination for any three people. I had tears in my eyes when you reached Canada. As you stated, it was bittersweet. May God protect you on all your future adventures.
I forgot to mention in my other comment about the static electricity. I grew up on the coast of South Carolina and I have done a lot of fishing along the South Carolina coast as well as off of the coast of Florida. It is in fact a very spooky and eerie feeling when you were out on the water and a thunderstorm is approaching and not only have I been in situations where the hair on my arms and my head floated into the air but we have been on the Gulf of Mexico before with a storm approaching and it literally lifted our fishing lines out of the water. That’s when you know it’s time to get the hell out of Dodge. It is an uncomfortable feeling being on a boat or a golf course or out in the middle of a big field when a storm comes up suddenly. You do not want to be the highest object on a very open flat surface so I can imagine on some of those trails when there aren’t any trees or any cover how uncomfortable and nervous it can get when a big storm comes up.
Girl, you were an engineer? I feel like I need to go on a long hike after getting my M.E. degree..... Ugghfhfhfh so much stress. Lol
I hiked that Gila last yera. Gorgeous.
I recognize that Alabama accent. Im working in Mobile fr Pilot, saving up cash for another hike!!
love the video.
Those are wolf tracks that you are coming across. The wolves there are the smaller Mexican or prairie wolf.
The bigger wolf is the Canadian gray. Or what we call the timber wolf. They will be in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.
What they call the "prairie wolf" in Montana is actually a coyote.
@@ScottyDMcom a no, Lewis and Clark noted that there was a difference between the prairie wolf and the coyote.
My Grandfather protected his sheep from wolves in central Idaho back in the 1920's. He noted there was a big difference between the two different wolves also. He said that the timber wolf was way more aggressive
I’m so proud of myself, I just hiked the CDT at 2am from my hotel room in Prattville Alabama. Maybe I can make the triple crown before sunrise. JK thx for the awesome video Dixie.
This is 10 times better than any National Geographic . What a scenery and what a determination, what a girl.....
Love your positive attitude and your take on life.
Take care and thanks for posting.....
Dixie im so glad that i found you 3 years ago .i was at a very low point in my lifehaving just had valve replacement surgery .you have grown so much during the triple crown, your mama must be really proud!
"Hangin' on like a hair in a biscuit" Love it!
Hi from Belgium Dixie! I followed you during you PCT and CDT and I loved it! Congrats for this marvelous movie you guys built!
Wow, that is one strong girl. I admire your determination and courage. Several dangerous parts, hair standing on end at 1:19:21, moose so close, bears, snow in Glacier Park. You did a great job of filming, editing. Even carried a drone. Best parts are Colorado and Wind River Mtns in Wyoming. Many places in video did not even have a trail. Lots of mountain goats in Colorado. You should be very proud of yourself. You will have this video and the memories forever. Life is not things but experiences. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.
What an intense journey and such a well done documentary. Kudos to ya'll! So many exquisite views, so much wildlife! The mountain lion scene was hair raising. Loved the mountain goats looking at you like 'what the heck are you two legged critters doing up in our home' lol. Very well done, should be on NatGeo!
This is an absolutely amazing movie! I have watched you through all three hikes and you are an inspiration! Congratulations on your triple crown and THANK YOU for bringing us along the way!! (Aaron....perfect editing! Thanks to you too!)
I liked the mummy story - reminded me of the plot of "It Follows"
the shot of your legs shaking after Grays Peak was priceless 1:14:23, anyone who has done their share of climbing knows that feeling...great story telling ;)
what an excellent story....so well done...the photography was exceptional, loved the up close shots on the trail, to see the smallest wonders to those amazing encounters with the mountain lion, the bears & that moose day was unbelievable...congratulation on your accomplishments and continued adventurers and safe trekking...Namaste
Let's just go ahead and say it.
Dixie your inspirational!
I hope these videos earn you enough to hike whenever and wherever you like.
Inspirational. Loved seeing the three of you finish together. I also loved hearing your stories and perspectives. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
