The Continental Divide Trail or CDT is a 3100 mile wilderness trail that runs along The Rocky Mountain Range crossing 5 states, 25 National Forests, 4 National Parks and 3 Indian Reservations. Me and Paul Walked it in 2008 from May to October, we were unaided carrying all we needed to survive on our backs only leaving the trail to re-supply, take a shower and sink a few well deserved beers! We averaged about 20 miles a day, 6 days a week for a total of five and a half months, while tackling everything that Mother Nature had to throw at us including mountainous terrain, adverse weather conditions, water scarcity and not forgetting the rattle snakes and grizzly bears!! This is why only a handful of backpackers attempt this annually and even fewer finish in the same year.
