  • Every year adventurous hikers attempt to thru hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) which stretches from the US/Mexico border to the US/Canada border through the Rocky Mountains.
    In 2016 I joined their ranks, leaving the Mexico border and hiking 2800 miles to reach Canada 5 months later. I hope this video gives you a glimpse of that incredible experience.

    This is a truly well put together travel memoir. Many folks think they've been on adventure; this is true adventure. I think I cried a little. I've hiked most of the ranges you went through, but the solemnity towards nature and the human spirit that comes from reaching it solely by foot is without compare. If you can drink from the fountain of life, drink deeply.

    The best 38 minutes on RUclips, hands down. Amazing footage, great crew, and a wonderful overview of the trail. Having just done a few bits and pieces of the trail, this video hooked me on the idea of doing the whole thing. Thanks for the humor, tears, and insights.

    I've just had the 2nd most stressful 24hrs of my life and every time the pressure goes up I play a little more video and it calms me. I imagine some day I will have to do this hike or one like it myself. THANK YOU

    This is such a beautiful video with great music, I especially liked the Lord Huron put in here. This makes me want to go thru hike a trail so badly, but I'm still only 15 and in school so I can't yet. I have big hopes that someday I can have an experience as grand as yours! Amazing video, best I've seen on the CDT

I did my first thru hike on the SHT last year and I will be making my first attempt on one of the big 3 on the AT next year and cannot wait. Someday i will try and tackle the CDT and i cannot wait for that day to come! Thanks for the great video!!!

    Awesome. I've watched a fair few PCT videos but not many CDT videos...this one was great. Thank you. You know you've watched too many thru-hike videos when you recognize every pack each person was wearing!
    I will be hiking the CT this summer so it was pretty cool to see some of the trail I will be hiking, and I always love to hear how much people are awed by the WRR...as a Wyomingite we are proud of our natural/public lands!

    What an amazing hike and I am amazed at your stamina! I usually do day hikes now and I turned 60 last Wednesday so I don't have the energy I had as a kid. I'll keep hiking as long as my body holds out. Congrats again on an amazing journey. I just told my wife how I appreciate these videos. They allow us to see part of the journey even though we are not there. Thanks for the effort you put into this video. I appreciate it very much!

    Excellent ! There's a hiker in your video that I have followed the blog (in nearly real-time). According to your video, there's many more sunny days than rainy ones. Good. I hope to discover all this by myself, in reverse order (starting with TA). Thanks for sharing !
