Description
Are you backpacking, section hiking, or thru hiking the Continental Divide Trail (CDT)? Triple Crowner and host, Carol "Cheer" Coyne has some tips for you in this episode! Here, she discusses timing & strategy to finish the trail before the first snow hits. She also talks about ideal times to be in each section, mileage and terrain by state, & more.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
1. Overall strategy of hiking a 3,000 mile trail
2. Trail alternates & how they affect mileage (spoiler alert: most CDT hikers don't quite hike 3,000 miles)
