Continental Divide Trail In Photos: New Mexico

The southernmost 809 mi / 1,302 km of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) covers the stats of New Mexico. New Mexico can (somewhat accurately) be described as the "desert section" of the trail and the entire New Mexico CDT is above 4,000 ft / 1,220 m and more than 75% is above 6,000 ft / 1,830 m

Continental Divide Trail In Photos: The Gila

Northbound thru-hikers of the Continental Divide Trail have a very important decision to make when they reach CDT Mile 173.1 (or for anyone who chooses to do the Columbus Alternate, where you begin the CDT from the town of Columbus, New Mexico instead of at Crazy Cook Monument south of Lordsburg,

Continental Divide Trail In Photos: New Mexico Water Sources

The start of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) does to hikers whatever you would consider the opposite of "ease them into the hike" (that's right, it fucks them in the back of a Volkswagen). The water sources hikers have to drink from (yes, you have to drink from them, the alternative is

Continental Divide Trail In Photos: New Mexico Bootheel

Despite the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) having numerous starting (or ending, if you're one of those weird southbound hikers) points, many people (myself included) consider Crazy Cook Monument to be the "official" southern terminus (probably because there's a monument there with the CDT logo and

Continental Divide Trail Week 6: The San Juans

DAY 36: Colorado Appa is the first one out of camp this morning as we make our approach to the New Mexico/Colorado border (I can't imagine why Appa is so eager to get to Colorado). Moist and I set out together up a climb through some snow. The snow isn't deep, but the ground is sufficiently

Continental Divide Trail Week 5: Don’t Die

DAY 29: Cuba, New Mexico A benefit of cowboy camping? (That's sleeping with no shelter, aka just your sleeping bag/pad on the ground, for those of you who haven't been paying attention.) When you can't sleep at night you can just lie on the ground and watch shooting stars (or possibly alien

Caching Water In The New Mexico Bootheel On The CDT

"Do I need to cache water for the first section of the Continental Divide Trail?" This question was a big concern of mine before starting the CDT. Assuming you are beginning your hike at Crazy Cook, the first 85 mi / 136 km of the CDT is a scary place for thru-hikers (especially those out on

Continental Divide Trail Week 4: One Month In

DAY 22: On-trail pizza delivery There may only be two of us now that Appa is MIA until we make it to Grants, but that doesn't mean Moist and I get going any earlier in the morning (it's not like we start hiking together anyway - you start hiking when you're packed up and ready to go). The sun

Continental Divide Trail Week 3: We Got A Dog

CDT DAY 15 - Last day in the Gila Today is our last day in the Gila and to celebrate our departure back into the high desert we have a rare morning fire. Technically, we'll still be in the Gila National Forest for a bit, but the campground at Snow Lake marks the end of our time actually
