My thruhike of The Continental Divide Trail
In 2023 I finally completed the CDT, after quitting halfway through in 2022
The CDT kinda got me on my first attempt in 2022, where I decided to go home after getting to Wyoming, but it was still calling to me so I went back the next year (2023) and completed the rest of the trail.
And oh my god am I glad that I did that 🙂 first of all, the second half of the CDT is just absolutely amazing, brutal, wonderful, and I got to meet some pretty cool hikers, and the ever amazing Leeloo, whom I hiked most of the trail with.

I didn’t post much about my second CDT thru-hike because, by that point, I had already learned so much from my first CDT attempt and my time on the PCT.
A lot of the discovery and research that went into my first hikes didn’t need repeating, and instead, I focused more on simply experiencing the trail.
That journey—full of incredible landscapes, tough challenges, and unforgettable moments—is mostly documented on YouTube, where I was able to capture it in a way that words alone couldn’t.
If you’re curious, head over to my Youtube channel—but fair warning: there are a lot of CDT videos. You might need more than one cup of coffee to get through them all!
