Day 14 We awoke at 7am knowing we had to go to the post office. Luckily the Pagosa Springs post office opens at 7:30 am during the week. I got out of bed and took a quick shower, then I was off to walk across town to retrieve my sisters next art project (my resupply … More The hike into Silverton. The end of this years thru hike

Day 10 Waking up in a bed is such a good and strange feeling when thru hiking. The three of us ( Snakebite, Tigerlily, and I ) woke up at 7:30ish and begun packing up our things. Tigerlily had arranged a ride with a local the evening before at 9am so we had no rush … More Chama to Pagosa Springs, and a visit from a Mountain Lion

Day 1 It feels strange being in New Mexico on the CDT. It’s a good strange though…I think. I hate hiking in the desert and that’s all I can see from the car window on the way to Cuba, New Mexico. I’ve been told the stretch from Cuba to Colorado is actually quite pretty and … More Cuba to Chama. Adios New Mexico. 

Day 23 Its still pretty early when we wake up at about 6:30am. It’s my Birthday, but it doesn’t necessarily feel like it. It’s strange what being on the trail will do to you and how you think. All I can think about it getting up and eating something to fill the enormous void in … More Silverton to Durango

Day 19 Zero day Wooooooohooooo. Our first one since starting the CT on July 5th. It was a much needed day of eating and just laying around at Ravens Rest Hostel. I really don’t have much exciting to say about the zero day. Most hiker zero days are simply eating, drinking, and sleeping. That’s exactly … More Lake City to Silverton

Day 12 It was a relaxed morning in a pretty comfortable bed, with a toilet near by, and running water steps away. What else could a hiker ask for. We left the room at about 8:20 and managed to secure a ride with three younger guys who were headed the same way as us to … More Buena Vista to Lake City

Day 8 Leaving town is always bitter sweet. Running water, electricity, a bed, food that doesn’t come in bar or dehydrated form. We packed our things and headed out of the hostel around 9am, we were off to find coffee, breakfast or something vegan, and a small bit of food for the next two days. … More Leadville to the unexpected Buena Vista

Day 6 It was nice relaxed start to the day in Frisco. We packed up slowly and ate some Vegan breakfast burritos in the room. We were milking our time in town for every last dollar that we paid for the room. Check out time was 11am and I believe we left at about 10:45. … More Breckenridge to Leadville

CT notes day 1Today I began a new thru hike. I know what you’re thinking, but you didn’t finish the CDT? Maybe I needed inspiration and a break from the monotonous central Montana landscape.. Maybe I missed Colorado alittle… Maybe the CDT isn’t for me at the moment… Who knows but I’m ecstatic to be … More Waterton Canyon to Breckenridge on the CT

Day 1 Today started off with getting our resupplies for the next section and sending some unneeded gear back home. Sending our ice axes home proved to be abit of a pain as we had to scavenge a box that was at least close to the right size from a small market in East Glacier. … More The Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wilderness Areas
