Today we hiked 13 miles. Not bad for the first day out here. We were really excited to get on trail and it felt crazy to be out here! A lot of the trail was on an old washout. We had to hike on golf ball and baseball size rocks which made my ankles tender and I got a lot of blisters. Even though my feet are hurting, it feels awesome and surreal to be out hiking again.
For those that don’t know, the CDT is one of the “Big Three” long trails in America. The Southern Terminus is in New Mexico where it continues north for 770 miles to Colorado. After hiking through Colorado for 800 miles (including the highest part on the CDT at 14,270 foot elevation at Grays Peak) we will move into Wyoming for 550 miles which includes hiking through Yellowstone National park. The next part of the trail travels through both Montana and Idaho. We will hike about 180 miles in Idaho and around 800 miles in Montana. The Northern terminus of the trail is in Glacier Park, Montana.
