It's best not to underestimate that place, especially after a rain.

I hope to someday have to deal with the headache of finding that terminus. PCT next year then CDT the following year. Thank you so much for the helpful info. Another killer video.
Ya know, I don't think you've made a bad video yet! I mean, SERIOUSLY, you make such, well thought out, informative videos! And this is simply, ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO in a series of GREAT VIDEOS! I doubt my videos will ever be this well structured.
@@HomemadeWanderlust, all thanks goes your way. You're the one collecting data and information culled from your experiences & research and shaping it into, what could be considered a lesson plan, we just watch, learn and enjoy! Thank YOU!
I am renewing my membership in the Continental Divide Trail Coalition this year so we can get more Gateway Communities, complete more sections of the CDT and train more trail adopters. Oh yeah, get Wyoming to recognize the CDT. Our new Governor and his children have hiked the Winds section, get his attention too. Thank you Dixie for this video.

You are the QUEEN of accomplished hiking videos! If the ride to the terminus was with an acquaintance, I wouldn't go without a satellite based GPS unit. GK
Just re-watching this vid and something that I can't believe, it seems to me that all the information that I have seen you put out is so straight forward, use full and unbiased. Here's hoping you and your family have a fantastic Easter weekend and the upcoming weeks bring you joy and happiness, at least to the same level that you bring to me. Luv all that I have seen and binging for my weekend, hope to have all un-watched completed by the end Here's a big THANK YOU DIXIE!!!!
Desert backpacking is no joke. Water is life, literally. Weather in the desert is fickle and can change in minutes. Don't get lost. It is easy to do and can have dire consequences. A healthy respect for the challenges and good planning are key to a successful hike. I know this is obvious stuff but every year people get in trouble.
Well hope you enjoyed your hike and welcome to southern New Mexico.. the road commit made me laugh so much.. they are not as bad as the mountain dirt roads.. silver city raised and something I would enjoy giving a shot sometime..
I love a video about how to decide whether to go north or south bound. I'm not a hiker myself and after this video it sounds so difficult to start that way.
Great video! Lordsburg does have a small airport, I’ll check and see if it’s still open, what kind of flights available etc. I am in town should have some info this afternoon. The airport is located fairly close to the Econo Lodge.
Do you think there will ever be a Eastern Continental Divide Trail? Which would run from somewhere in Western N.Y., Pa., W.V., meet up somewhere with the A.T. then straight South thru the middle of Georgia the Okeefanookee Swamp , thru Fl. to Lake Okeechobee, to the Everglades.😎🍄?! And Maryland, I think S. C. Also. You could Google Continental Divides of N. America and it will show you all the different divides in N. A.🐶 Enjoyed the video Jessica.
In states with lots of BLM land and open range laws, a fence and a gate don't necessarily mean one is entering private property. Ranchers often lease grazing rights on specific parcels of BLM land, and fences may simply indicate the boundaries of a grazing unit rather than a private property boundary - they're meant to keep the cattle from straying off of the leased grazing rights parcel and onto another where they don't belong. Fences CAN mean private property; if so, they're usually marked as such with signs, orange fence posts, or locked gates. It IS possible to find out in advance whether specific tracts of land are privately owned and who owns them, and even to contact the landowner or their agent ahead of time for permission to cross the land. In rural counties, the county sheriff's office will usually know who owns a particular parcel of property within that county. Happy Trails.
I'm glad you did this vid thank you very much. Was hoping someone would answer my question as to if you wanted to bring your own vehicle and if there's a secure location or what do people do. Like you said cheaper than shuttling. I've planned for AZT but this is still the question. Considering the CDT and AZT south terminals are so close it's like the same delima. I asked the Coalition and they say shuttle so. I'm like if I can park somewhere I'll walk to the terminus. 🤙😀🙃
I'm really considering doing some thru hikes. I'm starting off with smaller day hikes while i purchase the right kind of gear. I have things I need to get in order though. I love your videos.
From the CDTC map, it actually looks like there are four really great spots, highway crossings, for hikers to cache their own extra water jugs on the way down from town. And if don't use them all, just move 'em over to the trail and help the next guy. Gallon jug of water, $.94 at Walmart.
Thanks for this info! I wondered how those water caches worked. Also, (if I missed the answer to it somewhere, I apologize), what happened with Aaron's plans to hike the A.T.?
The solution I'm planning is to do CDT as a SOBO. Entry is AMTRAK to East Glacier Park, then arrange travel to border. This also makes it so the exit through the International Border isn't so horrible because you've got 2700 mile legs.
Curious, whats to stop someone who has not paid for the water cache service from just taking it anyway? Thanks for sharing another great video! ATB : )
Margery K They definitely could, but I think most thru-hikers aren’t scummy enough to put someone else’s life in danger. Just in case (lol) volunteers keep the caches checked/stocked, though, so they aren’t gonna leave you hanging.
I am surprised they even break even at $120. People always underestimate the true cost of driving. Add to the roughness of that terrain and special risks and costs involved, and the fact they have to go round trip, really great pricing.
You can download a map area for offline use through google maps. I have to do it all the time driving around in the mountains in PA. Just FYI. Thanks for the info!
Jeffrey Fuchs It wasn’t that it stopped working, it was that it wasn’t the correct route and we had no way to google the instructions with no service :/ I just learned about that not long ago, though, and it is a good thing to know when you’re in the boonies, so thank you for the tip!!
I hear there are sometimes some low flying civilian aircraft that go between the USA and Mexico doing some off the books cargo runs. Perhaps you could catch a ride to the boarder with one of them?
Hey Dixie! love the videos! watched you and Darwin alot before i did the jmt last year...keep up the good work! just curious your voice sounds different in this video?
annapurnaiscold It sounds different at two different parts because I recorded audio separate when I realized I had forgotten some things I wanted to say. Thank you for watching!! Congrats on the JMT :)
Anyone have any tips for getting gear through an airport safely? Do most people have a separate bag to check their pack in? If so, what do you do with it once you arrive? I hear airports aren't all friendly on carrying on trekking poles and tent stakes if you aren't checking it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I've flown around the world with a Karrimor rucksack. The sack was no problem as checked luggage. Just pull the straps down tight and wrap the waist belt around the body of the sack backwards (the sack itself is about the same size as your waist). Tie off and tuck in all the loose ends of your straps. Or you could put it in a large plastic bag. Collapse your trekking poles and put them inside the rucksack as you CANNOT carry them on to the plane. Stove and fuel are a problem. Check with the airlines that fly to your desired destination and see what their rules are as some are less restrictive than others. For some airlines, a brand new stove may be acceptable. Or try sneaking it on inside your luggage. Or buy it after you leave the airport. Or mail it to yourself at a place after the last flight (check with the post office rules for flammable/dangerous goods). Buy fuel after you have finished your last flight.
@@David_BrutonIn mentioning international travel I was trying to suggest a well-make rucksack can stand up to anything the airlines anywhere can throw at it. As for comments on stoves and trekking poles, I believe the TSA standards drive limitations on luggage world-wide. In any case, check with the various airlines that fly to your destination. The airline websites have baggage information pages where you can check the rules on camping gear, sports gear and other special luggage categories. I believe United is particularly strict.
It IS a lot. But if one could afford to do so, it must be somewhat of a relief to travel with a local familiar with the area and any snarls associated with it. It would be to me...
Thanks for the info I think I’ll just get dropped off by a Helo much faster and free it’s good to know people with the resources and give back for there kindness .
Oh Dixie. Gargoyle Maps has told me to continue driving EAST while I was on westbound Interstate staring right into the sunset. Do not put your faith in Gargoyle products.
Yeah, I live about an hour away from Lordsburg and can confirm that you don't want to trust Google for dirt road navigation in this part of the world, lol.
The cell phone position data comes from its built in GPS receiver, which is why it was still directing them along Google's route. When cell service is available, the phone merely augments the GPS position with cell tower data and wifi, if that's turned on. A "real" (hiker) GPS is no better than the map it's loaded with, though it might be slightly more accurate than the phone.
Milkman4279 Yup! That’s exactly what I mentioned in the video. Also the town food for an extra day, scratches on the vehicle that took us, and pain and suffering 😂
@@HomemadeWanderlust - While I don't do trail hikes, I do go Elk hunting. I use a lot of the info I get from your videos to make my trips a little easier and comfortable. Thank you.
Wait you spend $1500 on gear and all the motels and travel costs and you think $120 is too much for a shuttle to the CDT terminus? I would gladly spend $120 and know I am going to get there with no problems.
At 73 I'll probably never do a thru hike, but you give the best info of anyone I've watched..an absolutely great resource for thru hikers. Looking forward to your hike with your Mom. Godspeed.
