A fun story - this last weekend my wife and kids and I were camping in Steamboat Springs, and we were both wondering where Dixie was along the trail. On our way home we were coming down Rabbit Ears Pass and drove past a hiker going up the pass. We didn't think anything of it at first and then it hit me - that was Dixie! We kept driving down the hill debating if that was Dixie when we drove past Aaron. So we turned around and drove back up the hill. "Hey - are you Dixie??" "I am". So we pulled over and chatted for a few minutes. Such a sweet young lady - just so nice. My kids were very excited. So, Hi again Dixie from Matt and Rebecca. Keep up the great work!
Ha! Very cool...
No way you got to meet Dixie how cool is that
Gosh! What are the odds! That’s cool!
That is too cool! Good for you! Good for her! Everybody won in that scene. : )
That's so cool. Were you able to give her something good to eat or drink? That's always a bonus. "Trail Magic."
The mountain goats had to come up an see if it really was Dixie on the trail
You’ve outdone yourselves with your pictorial splendor! Starting with the slo-mo of the butterfly and then the drone shots, gives such spectacular vistas! Loving seeing all this through your eyes! Thank you! As always, Safe Travels and Happy Trails,
Another great episode. I'm really loving your CDT journey. I loved your other two as well but this one seems to me more of a wilderness experience, and spiritual experience. Maybe because you've been alone hiking a good part of it and that gives you more time for self reflection. Those mountain goats coming up over the rise was amazing, and the paper left in the cheese was hilarious. Thank You Dixie
Love your videos Dixie! I love what you show us and what you tell us. You are a true inspiration 😊
Because of you and Darwin, I will be doing my first overnight hike next week. Thank you 😊
WOW, Really well done and enjoyable episodes,
I agree with what Paul Smart said:
"Thank you for allowing so many of us escape for a few minutes every Wednesday."
I am new to backpacking and can't wait to get back out on the trail. In the meantime, your
videos are such a relief to watch. They wisk me away from my work-a-day world !
Thank you
I've been sort of overwhelmed by school and that type of pressure regarding career and life, and this episode really was a comfort to me. I'm really appreciative of what you do Ms. Dixie because it inspires and motivates me to do what I do. It's much more than just entertainment. I consider what you do as godsend for people like me who still are going through the quotidian, pushin on each day until I am able to do what I love. So thank you very much.
You are so much better than any other hiking channel, you set yourself apart with your outlook on everything. Seeing your videos is always one of my weekly highlights!
This was my favorite episode yet! I felt like this one gave us the most accurate depiction of what your daily life is like on the trail. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us!! You are the best!!
Dixie Darlin'; I certainly do admire your video skills. Holy Goat-a-moley Girl. How fortunate you've been. And as Paul Smart just said, how fortunate We are to share in your adventures.
Thank You.
More fabulous footage of stunning scenery! I don't think I've ever craved salt and vinegar chips at breakfast time before - but today I did :) That scree looked really challenging, you're inspiring me to do more adventurous things on my own, rather than worrying so much that I might injure myself which then stops me from doing that thing rather than just carefully going forward. Thanks Dixie.
What beautiful films you are producing! I feel like when you have completed your major hikes you have a career in motivational speaking waiting for you. The gorgeous vistas and your inspirational thoughts are so uplifting!
When I'm having a crappy day I like to watch your hiking viedos and it gives me energy just seeing the beautiful world and to think I'll see those sights in 2 years.
With all the strong winds, the audio quality was still excellent as usual. The Movo furry windscreens in the camara accessory gearlist was a wise choice. Much appreciation to you and your editor for all the effort and care you put into the creation and presentation of these hikes.
My Dads Louis L'Amour novels gave me a love for the landscape of Colorado before I even knew what an aspen looked like.Thanks for capturing it so beautifully.
Goodwin Dixie been following you through your many hikes you've turned out to be quite the philosopher
How two people, Dixie and Aaron, can create such amazing videos that speak to our souls with a magical combination of imagery, words and music is wonderful, indeed. We are blessed that you share your experiences and talent with us all. I sincerely Thank You.
I see a career in motivational speaking as hiking for a theme in your future.

Just a gorgeous video, Dixie. We love excellence..
Dixie, you are most definitely not a follower. You have led the way for many folks to find the courage and will to challenge themselves and push their boundaries. I look forward to each video you put out. I’ve not recreational hiked, but, I remember many miles in the Army with an old Alice style metal framed pack weighing about 85 lbs. along with a rifle in boots that had no arch support whatsoever and were sized by someone smoking crack. I also remember the satisfaction of making the checkpoints and clearing serious mileage everyday all the while in places few humans had been in modern times. Beautiful vistas and views and a night sky that just sparkles with wonder. Made the bullets, mortars, RPG’s and bombs worth it. God Bless you! Keep on ‘trekking! By the way, I think we need to add 2 initials to your trail name. I think you should be known as Dixie M.G. Since I feel you qualify as a Mountain Goat with the terrain you’ve traversed. Anyone else agree? 😜
Thank you Dixie...I learn a lot from you.
so brave and fearless, thank you Dixie xxx
On this thankful Thursday 07.19.18 I am enjoying your no nonsense challenges as you navigate your way. I was taught by my great Uncle Ralph "life is a series of choices as you travel on the road of life...."
"There's gonna be that anyway, you might as well go and get what you want." Amen!
Thank you for your sweet voice and inspiring words. Getting ready to do my longest hike in a few days to Wonderland Trail. Your videos leading up to it make it easier to challenge myself and hope I can make it.
Thank you for taking the time to share this experience. Such great footage and even better storytelling!
thank you Dixie...stunning moments
Another killer video. You should submit your trails end compilation/documentary to SXSW or any other film festival I bet they would include it in their program and maybe win an award. I mean it the video quality and especially your wisdom and positive attitude. will inspire many as it has me. Bless you and stay safe.
In the Army, 45 years ago, the expression was " lead, follow or get out of the way". Thanks for taking us along. I now treat myself to a couple of your older videos(the AT) each day. You are a remarkable young woman with a great sense of humor.
I am a retired civil engineer and retired Army engineer officer. My 40 year career had a lot of great times as a soldier, a town engineer, and a field inspection engineer. I had two periods where I was working in corporate engineering and they were not fun. They made combat engineering look good. I suspect that you were in a corporate engineering job when you escaped. When your wandering days are slowing down, you might want to work for the US Forest Service, the National Park Service or a state's park service. It can keep you outside. Good Luck
It was great to meet you just south of this pass! Leki sent me replacement parts for my busted trekking pole too! The traverse northbound you made was harder! Happy Trails Dixie! God bless
seeing the mountain goats was fun. great video as always. keep safe and keep trekking.
I saved this nugget of Dixie adventure as long as I could. OMG that’s breathtaking!!! The goats! I would have broken my neck on that scree. Thank you for sharing the thoughts and beauty. Means a lot.
Great Cinematography Dixie! YOU ROCK! (No Pun Intended) hehe.. love the blowing feather shots too... never fail to amaze me!
"Holy Goat-a-molie!" This is my new favorite thing to say. Only, when I say it, it's gonna be weird, because I'm at work in an office and there are no vistas and mountain goats near me! Thankfully I get to live vicariously through Dixie on Wednesdays to tide me over til I can get my own two feet on some summits!
This is my favorite episode to date. I'm glad you were laughing while crossing that crazy rocky "mess" bc I was kind of freaking out for you! And your words at the end are gold
You're a very special, grounded woman Dixie. Keep up the great adventures and videos.
Wow, those mountains and the goats were beautiful!!
“Holly goatamole y’all”. Too funny! Love your sense of humor even in difficult situations. Stay strong.
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey with us Dixie!
Been away for a while. Nice to see the Chanel and production quality “growin”.
Beautiful country, what memories you will have from all three trails.
No words to describe that sunrise!!!!!
Another great video... representative of the work of a true hiker queen. .
Beautiful views! Such an amazing video! You’re awesome Dixie! Keep on Truckin’👍🏻😃👏🏻
Kettle Cook Jalapenos are awesome!!!!
YES !
Awesome job Dixie! I've lived in the central mountains of Colorado for over a decade. Rooting for you to make it to Canada! Much love from Edwards, CO. P.S. Family from Alexander City, AL.
Great video Dixie. Thank you for sharing the beautiful scenery along the trail. I thought the PCT was pretty but Colorado is amazing. Be safe.
What an amazing world we live in
I love the way you see things... your point of view... amazing...❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻
That level II scrambling on the scree sure did give me some pucker power. Wow. And the goats were a great shot there. Enjoyed it and keep on truckin'.
They are going to pave the W. side of Cottonwood Pass. Thinking about your encounter with the cougar, you were very lucky. People, esp. a woman alone is easy prey. Just below N. of Taylor Res. when I was about 8-9 a mountain lion was following me about 50 feet back, but luckily another guy spotted it and shot at it. You might consider carrying one of those handheld air horns like they have on inland boats. They are very loud and will scare the crap out of predator. Love your trek through the Colligate Peak area. My Id stands for when I joined the Colo. Mt. Club, that's why I am so familiar with this area.
I haven't read the comments below so sorry if this is a repeat, but I got told that a craving for chips is often your body telling your it is short of something. Magnesium and/or Salt (Sodium or Pottasium). I get the same when I'm out for a while sweating and moving. I do magnesium chelate/orotate supplements now because it also helps with cramps and twitching legs at the end of a long stretch.
Those goats were talkin’ about you the rest of that day... “Hey Mom.. guess what I saw on the mountain today!! It was a really stinky animal of some sort.. and it was slippin’ all over the skree like a new deer!”
Thanks for the great video Dixie.
Totally understand the cheese-paper. I ate most of a sub sandwich complaining about what I thought was ham gristle/fat. Chewing and chewing and swallowing. Eventually realized I was eating the paper from between the cheese slices. Oh well. Fiber, right?Dixie, again you provide us with BEAUTIFUL views, excitement, deep thoughts, positive attitude, cool critters. Dreaming of my next hike. Will likely take my son (12 year old) on a weekend outing to have "the man talk" (Passport to Purity). Looking forward to it. Like Captain/General Li Shang says . . . "I'll make a man out of you." (Disney/Mulan reference)
I love your close up shots Dixie!
Those Salt & Vinegar chips are just addictive. It's my vice.
Absolutely a peak share, makes us feel like we’re walking with you, thx Jessica
Loved it Dixie !!
Great video as usual - so inspiring!
Absolutely beautiful! So grateful you are sharing this adventure! Be safe and hike on!
You are awesome! Followed you since the AT, and have enjoyed every minute!! Rock on!
"The Three Billy Goats Gruff"!
You know, when I'm out hiking I almost always make more miles in shorter time than I had planned and It's most always less pain during/after to. Can't enplane it but if I plan a few miles or just an hour because I only have a short time available, I end up out for longer and get farther and it makes me feel better in the end. Maybe its because there are so many negatives in my life and I want more positives.
Your making good time Dixie! Thanks for sharing! Sending fair weather and smooth travels from NC.
Thank you so much for these videos, they are helping me through a really though time
stunning views that trail is getting prettier by the day thank you.
What is the flower at 6:21? It's so pretty!
Every time I watch you hiking through this beautiful country I keep hearing Seals and Crofts "We May Never Pass This Way Again" in my head. I hope you do take all the time you can to savor it to its fullest and still safely make it to Canada. At the same time, I just lmao wondering what type of doo doo reference you're going to include in the weekly video!!! The deadpan remark about the porta potty being 10 minutes too late - priceless!!! Seeing that country through your interpretive eyes is a real treat... Ever On!!!
OK, really weird moment... "We May Never Pass This Way Again was released in 1973, the same year I cycled from Michigan to Mexico on my trusty Schwinn Supper Sport, Brooks leather saddle and all. The twenty year old never did pass that way again... The song was released as a single on a 45 (further dating me) and the B side of the hit was a lovely blend of harmonies called "Jessica." I think Jim Seals and Dash Crofts must have seen you out there on the horizon and knew what would be a huge part of your life. Strange stuff, but pretty dang cool!
That last pass and your were working over that scree and your foot slipped and I said, HOO, then you said, HOO. Maybe it's a southern thing, keep on trucking!
Some really great editing. Kodos
"Holy Goat-A-Moley!" You're the best. Well done. Another great video.
Oh man! I've done the same thing with the cheese on my sandwich. Safe travels.
Love love love these videos, Dixie. You are amazing!
OMG, Colorado is so beautiful. I gotta hike that as well one day. I really do.
Felt like I was traversing that path along with you. thanks for the experience. And the music is pretty epic too, btw.
Amazing scenery and SUPERB editing!
That's so cool that you got to see a Mtn Goat!
If you think it's windy in Colorado you're going to love Wyoming where if the wind stops blowing the people will fall over. Hike On.
"Your'e just saying the same thing over and over". You are never alone, like Snow White, you are surrounded by the animals of the forest and they chat away at you.
Another great episode! Really appreciate the reflections you've been doing...
Another outstanding video!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
That's what one of my DIs told us in the army, two kinds of people in the world, leaders and followers...
My first thought... OMG POLAR BEAR! LMAO!
wow I have been having a rough time trying to get out on the trail and this video made me feel a little better. Thanks Dixie =]
Wow, very poetic description of your feeling, very inspiring and motivational stuff. You should be featured on Discovery Channel.
Amazing video and so cool to see the mountain goats!
I recently subbed to you, I absolutely love your channel! You have inspired me to do a thru hike in the future. Take care and keep being awesome :) Becky
I live in Colorado and hike the Colorado trail often, those darn squirrels are bratty. They sass me all the time and I swear they literally toss their nuts at my tent if I’m in their space near their tree.
Dixie your videos and stories are amazing, thank you for sharing.
What kind of podcast you are listening (about the wishers and willers)?!
AMAzing!wow! Whats the soundtrack at 1:00 called?
Another great video.
Life is all about making amazing memories and the pursuit is all part of it. I always say "adversity is the anvil on which we are forged".
8:45 you may need more salt in your trail diet. Its an electrolyte and is lost when you sweat.
Absolutely beautiful!
The mountain goats were so neat!
Do you ever pinch yourself to make sure your not dreaming? So beautiful!
"holy goat a moly", love it
Good trip and good videos. By the way I miss you having some Snickers. Don’t like them anymore?
Dixie, I was incorrect on episodes being reversed. I think watching the intro to 13 made me think you had Lake Ann before Mirror Lake, but I see that was wrong. Watched too many episodes in a row late at night I guess. That was Tincup Pass you used to Mirror Lake right from St Elmo? Was just up there Aug. 20th camping and fishing.
You should hike the Grand Canyon
I loved this video! Beautiful country to see. You sure do make all that food look soooooo yummy!!!
