- Leave the deserts and mesas of New Mexico for the wet and snowy high country. In this video I pass the last remaining towns in NM and break into Colorado!

New Mexico may be my favorite state. Been through the Gila, Ghost Ranch, Silver City, Cuba, etc. Insanely beautiful! So may different climates in such a relatively small area. It's been fun reliving my 2013 memories through your trip. Already look forward to your next episode.
Laughing pretty good at that Cow Standoff..... THey were looking at you like why were you there.... By the way awesome sunset right after!
Last year I was right there where you were on that auto bridge over the Chama River. (Rio Chama)... My friend has a cattle ranch further up in Galina Canyon. Ghost Ranch is where they filmed "Cowboys And Aliens"... Great movie if you haven't seen it.
mobiltec That is Skull Bridge, part of the Ojitos Trail and CDT. The climb north on CDT from Skull Bridge is strenuous, with a climb of about 17,000 feet. There is a "gap" in the rim rock one must aim for.
A few days ago I was an "extra" for the next season of Longmire. 60+ of us packed Pink Pony (the bar in Longmire).
mobiltec Time stamp 5:50, that's Ojitos. There is a fresh water spring (Ojitos Spring) in the area.
Desertphile Oh how neat! You will have to send me a clip of you in the film as an extra.
Also found you channel a few months back and have really enjoyed your videos and tips on gear. Without getting too personal, I can't help but wonder how you're able to afford to do all these hikes (all the time off, not working a 9-5, purchasing gear, travel and supply money, etc.). You just a young dude who lives at home, goes to college, and is taking advantage of that time in your life, or do you have extra support other ways by not having to work a regular job and so on? I ask simply because I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but it's logistically impossible for me, lol.
awesome in too many ways to list... i dont want to give anything away but there is some definite comedy happening at times too
Hey Joe. Thanks for the great videos. I have a request. Can you add more cowbell? Sorry, I mean can you add more footage of some of your stops in towns, hostels, and resupplies. I enjoy scenes like at Ghost Ranch from the PCT and Blueberry Patch on the AT. Best of luck to you out there.
Joe what is the best way that ppl can support you? Buying a shirt on thruhikes? Sending food boxes? Paypal money to an account? This was a great video. Looking forward to seeing the Colorado conditions.
Very nice! You boys be careful. Colorado has been getting some wild weather, especially in the mid-portion.
Seems sometimes that information gets to you after conditions have already changed. I backpacked within the San Juans this summer and was told before heading out about the snow pack in the area I was backpacking. We went anyway, turned out there was no snowpack at all. Or just very little in one area. But better play it safe. Sounds like a difficult decision to make. I'd have a really hard time about changing my route. But by the looks of your recent vids sounds like you are doing great.
I hope you have some sort of electrolyte/sports drink mixed with your water because the color of it looks nasty! Another great vid. Thanks for sharing.
joe, another great video keep em coming. be careful going thru colorado this time of year, anything (weather wise) can happen. glad to see you are prepared.
Glad to see you are doing well. Glad to see the mail magic is alive and well on the CDT. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.
Is it a myth that snakes might try to curl up with a warm body at night or are you doing something to prevent that? You seem way more comfortable with them that I'd be.
Not sure if the trail takes you that way but if you get a chance to go to Pagosa Springs it's a cool town with nice hot springs that will sooth your aching feet and legs.
No music thank you
Trying to plan a quick section hike from chama down to near ghost ranch. Anyone know of a way to get back to chama from there?
Great video! Welcome to Colorado... Good luck with the snow!
Bodie's store is east of Ghost Ranch and a place to provision if you can arrange the hitch there and back.
Looks like portions of the NM trail are no maintained as well as PCT and AT.
Another nice video. Hope the upcoming snow isn't too deep!
How expensive has it been doing all these thru hikes?
Thanks for another great CDT video.
awesome video, Joe. thanks, bro.
It's so amazing to watch you and the guys (and Carrot) on the trail, on here and Instagram. You do a great job of conveying what it *might* be like and it's interesting seeing the resupply box stuff as well as camp and on trail walking...
Loved the skipping - looks like you all have loads of fun :D. Good luck through the snow!

Really enjoying your video series. Cool to see some trees! Good luck in the snow and be safe! The last picture is awesome!
Excellent video! The aspens are beautiful and that is an amazing sky at 13:13. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing. Keep hiking!
Just finished a three day hike on the CT! It was wonderful, beautiful, but very wet. Glad you guys are gearing up, it's a record snow and rain year. Thanks for your vids they are an inspiration!
Saw lots of girls on the CT... FYI
The hat: what make? wool?
5:35 = Nasty Bottle of Water & Apparently you are hiking with a Wacky Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man
Russ Ivey Is that water or like koolaid
Greg Cox 6:15 makes me think it's Chama River water held in reserve and ready to filter if really REALLY needed. That's my guess anyway.
I must say I'm really looking forward to the next video (through the south san juans). I consider that area my second home. Especially the Conejos (three forks), Adams Fork and Treasure Creek valleys/drainages. Wave hello to Summit Peak for me as you pass by. (I hope it has cleared enough to where yall don't have to bypass this area).
Gorgeous scenery as always, I love the shot of the steam train, the hiker Christmas and the hilarious corn dog haha. :D Good luck on the upcoming snowy section!
How was cell service thru out the trail? I noticed one of your trail buddies with a phone... Great video, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful country up through Pagosa Springs. We used to camp up there when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!
What month did you start paying through this section??
@backcountrybanter
Joey, great hike!Thank you sooooooo much for taking these videos, so that we can walk the CDT with you.Be careful! TK
Some amazing country so far. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, and good luck as you continue!
6:55 Why are you guys walking fast and funny?
+Mariel In Lakesh We were walking off the boredom on a road walk. Skipping actually, I guess...
Could hardly wait to get home from the lake to see your new video!!!
9:02 wow...that's a long slider !! ;-)
I am curious why you decided to go back to Chama after you went 60 miles forward into Colorado. Was it a designated resupply for you or is that the way the trail goes?
It's the closest viable town from Cumbres Pass in CO. It is only about a 12 mile hitch however.
Joe Brewer oh, ok. 12 miles is much better than 60, lol
Good job. Thanks for the video.
How do you handle not even knowing if you're on the trail for sure or not? I'd have a panic attack..
After hiking for so long, you just get used to it. I always have a general idea of where I'm headed and what to look for.
I don't think I could ever get used to that. I need a trail that I can see either visually or with blazes or I need a full map and compass to navigate with. I have a horrid sense of direction. I've always wondered about whether I could do the CDT because I've heard it isn't really marked. I guess that answers it for me.
Beautiful as always. Do you see sny girls doing this trail?
Jazzie Red Girls on the trail? Like, with their parents? There are many families doing the CDT.
Yeah! I'd say the ratio is about 5 guys to every 1 girl, but they are out here.
gotta follow the pink blazes.
