Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hike Part 10: Monsoon Season Is Here

I can’t believe we’re on part 10 of my CDT thru-hike, but we are! Thanks for following along. In this one, I hiked through Colorado from Breckenridge, to Winter Park, to Grand Lake. I’m making my way north slowly, but surely and on the way I climbed two more of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks (Gray’s and Torrey’s). Gray’s Peak is also the highest point on the CDT. In the 124 miles covered in this section, many of them were uphill. We started many days on the CDT early to avoid thunderstorms and we were mostly successful. After stopping in for some quality time with friends in Winter Park, we continue our CDT hike north to Grand Lake (which is where this particular video ends).

Thanks SOS. Such good videos. And these recent videos have been great beta for my 2024 CT hike. So thanks for that too. Peace and happy trails to you and Kid.

Those afternoon storms in Colorado are no joke. I'm glad it worked out for you during this section. Nice footage.

[@eliseott]

thanks! yes we always had some bailouts in mind but lots of times just started running hahah

14 thousand feet, that's impressive. Once I get above 10k, I start noticing a difference, so I can only imagine how much more difficult higher up can be.

[@eliseott]

I was definitely huffing and puffing. One nice perk of the CDT keeping you up high for so long is you get kind of used to it and then going up to 14,000 doesn't feel like as big of a departure!
