Continental Divide TrailApril 7, 2021

CDT Bound!

Follow me on the Instagram

After spending a little too long out in the so-called “real world”, it was so damn refreshing to meet up with some of my tribe for a multi-day hike on my home trail. To those CDT tram members who couldn’t make it out, you were truly missed and gossiped about… A LOT! 😂 But I’m hoping some of you cross paths with us on the PCT later this year. Good luck Tapeworm on making it over halfway on the AT. 🔥 Enjoy the north. RIP The Doyle. You will do well I’m certain, but I’ll miss the glorious shitshow you once were. How the trail has changed! 🤯

I did a thing today. Probably won’t do it again. But I also said I wouldn’t run 13.1 miles ever again, sooo… 🤷🏻‍♀️Thanks @trevtrevorwhatever for the support, and super rad to catch up with you @wildturkeytrotsthru Thanks for the hospitality!

9/9/21 - Mission Accomplished! 🤘

Montana! You pretty!

Yet again, Montana brought the hiker friendliness in Augusta, and a sweet sunset too! Once we were able to force ourselves to leave, we were off to “The Bob” and finally got to see the Chinese Wall. We’re officially in the heart of grizzly country, y’all! 🐻

The sweet views continued all the way to Augusta!

Had an awesome birthday which I celebrated with my stinky, freeloading #hikertrash tramily, the wonderful people of Lincoln, and Daryl the Sasquatch. The hike from Rogers Pass was just as amazing as the hike into it after we hunkered down in a yurt to avoid the rain. More climbs, but a lot of ridge walking by rock ledges and towers.

No more smoke, but the days have been windy and the nights have been cold. We visited an amazing outfitter in the middle of the trail, got to see Golden, a familiar face from the AT (2016), and lots and lots of cows! I had been in a bit of a funk lately, but the ridge walk right before reaching Rogers Pass snapped me out of it!

Got stuck in the Butte vortex. We hitched in, hitched out, hiked to the north side then hitched back in. Pizza Ranch was our second home. Eventually we made our way to Helena, our second vortex. Before our arrival, we got pounded by hail and rain. The wind was blasting through the trees so hard, they were snapping like twigs behind us. The people of Helena were beyond hiker friendly. We got stuck a second day when a girl working at the brewery let us crash at her place for free, hot tub included! Life’s good!
