Yep, I hiked the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), southbound from Canada to Mexico with my partner SpiceRack. June 26 — November 22. My daily blog posts are posted on the homepage, but you can also find them linked below. I also wrote a few articles for Cicerone Extra about our hike:
Prep and Planning
Mid-point Update, 1500 Miles Complete
Second Half and Final Thoughts
And if you want to see the route we took, check out this link right here:

Depending on your browser settings, you may have to mess around with the “CDT” button on top left to see all the waypoints.
SpiceRack and I also hosted a fundraiser for Big City Mountaineers (BCM) who provide opportunities for disadvantaged youth to experience the outdoors. With plenty of support it was a resounding success. With your help, we raised a whopping $6,363. All of our updates and a lot more info on BCM and our trip can be found here: BCM Fundraiser
