CDT Thru-Hike Ep. 1: Rattlesnakes; Cave Dwellings; Lunar Eclipse in the Bootheel

- This is episode 1 of a 13-part series showcasing my 2022 northbound thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). The CDT stretches across the U.S. from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, passing through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana along the Continental Divide. I attempted this thru-hike in 2019 and made it as far as Colorado before ending my hike due to snow conditions. Fortunate to have the chance to try again, I started on May 11 at the Mexican border in New Mexico. In this episode you’ll see some great desert scenery, wildlife (rattlesnake!!!), a cave dwelling that I stumbled upon off trail near a cattle tank that I collected water from, and a lunar eclipse that I attempted to film while camping in the desert just outside of Lordsburg. I will always love this section of the CDT known as the “Bootheel” of New Mexico.

Thanks
Wonderful first video. Can’t wait to watch the series. Thanks so much. Peace and happy trails
Thank you! Hope you like it!
That sound is from cicadas buzzing in the bushes.
Yep! I figured that out later. So many of them!!
Wow, very cool! Thanks for taking us along on your incredible journey.
Thank you! I personally think the episodes get better as I go along (as does the scenery), but i'm biased ;-). Happy to share and appreciate that you watch them!
Love your take on the CDT. Something we hope to maybe do in the future. Gotta work up to it. 💪 effort by you! Keep it up💚💚
Thank you! I definitely recommend the experience!

Looking forward to watching the vids as you post. I’m planning on doing the hike next year. What day did you start?
May 11. Getting to the San Juans too early is a bummer because the snow levels are really unpredictable. This date worked out perfectly for me, though I did have a few fire closures to hike around.
What month did you start the cdt in?
May 11. In my opinion, earlier than May is too early for a straight northbound thru hike due to lingering snow in the San Juans. This start date worked perfectly for me.
Thank you
