Hi there, great video, loved the bloopers :) We stayed at Fitton Cabin this summer and plan to go back and backpack for a 7-10 days summer 2020. Thanks for the tips. one Q? please do we need WiFi to use COTrex App? We didnt have good reception. Safe&Happy Trails

martin gonzalez how neat!! I want to get to the cabin sometime soon. We used the app without WiFi. I believe you can download the map layers and have them without reception. You just have to download them ahead of time!

What do you know of Alamosa, CO and it's trail running scene? This was a sweet video btw w all sorts of nuggets!

[@VIVSVIBE]

Yeah it’s right down the road. Camille Herron lives and trains out there and they’ve got a great cross country team out there as well. Lots of runners and trails to be had out there!

@@VIVSVIBE I'm applying to family medicine residency and I'm considering a program in Alamosa and in Pueblo. I'm a trail runner and just tapping into the ultra distances now. I just embarrasingly had to look up who that is but holy crap she's a legend! lol. Would you say that Alamosa has similar rolling hills like in Del Norte? It's less flat than I thought it would be by just looking at google maps.

[@VIVSVIBE]

I’d say so! It’s maybe a bit more flat but if you seek out trails and forest roads you’ll get some hills for sure

@@VIVSVIBE Thanks for all the info, if I end up out there I'm definitely befriending you! You're a certified badass btw, just checked out your insta. Keep it up!

What is the app you mentioned?

[@jeremiasrobinson]

I live there and I refuse to pronounce it "del nort". Go ahead and say "Del Norte". :)

[@VIVSVIBE]

Oh thank goodness someone else agrees... "Del nort" is about as silly as it gets. Hahaha!

[@jeremiasrobinson]

@@VIVSVIBE The way people often pronounce other Colorado town names like "Salida" and "Buena Vista" also often makes me cringe a litte and I rebel by pronouncing them as they were originally intended to be pronounced. Thanks for sharing!

[@VIVSVIBE]

I can appreciate that. It only seems right. I’m not sure who decided otherwise 😂👍

[@VIVSVIBE]

Cotrex. It’s linked at the very bottom of my description. Great app for sure!
