CDT Days 65-68: From Colorado to Wyoming

hikinghammonds July 9, 2018

Day 65: 28 Miles We slept in a little bit this morning, maybe because we celebrated a bit too much yesterday. We have a big food carry this stretch, and our heavier than usual packs slowed us down a little …

hikinghammonds June 30, 2018

Day 57: 23 Miles Today was a tough and slow going day. We hiked until nearly dark, yet only managed 23 miles. We’re on an alternate, and many times throughout the day the trail we were following would disappear, forcing …
