Watched every second! Still got it? You always had it! 🤘🤘🤘

[@bluebird443]

Beautiful Journey Liz. Thank you for sharing.

[@arionisonlineleeirlhookert3757]

Congrats Liz! We've been in the backcountry and just now saw your last video. Thanks for letting us be a small part of your journey. It was great to meet you!

[@indy2240]

You are awesome......All I can say.....thanks for sharing. Chuck

[@jhonyermo]

smile!🥲 Y'all finished a lovely trail. Bye-bye, chau, for a bit. Thanks for taking us along

[@jasonseckt4300]

Love you girl such an awesome hike and made me cry a little bit lol. You and Luke and Evan taco and cowboy.

[@meghantewksbury492]

Thank YOU for taking us along for the ride!

[@cypressmoon5090]

Thank you for taking us along. You're awesome and I look forward to your next adventure!

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Congratulations 🎉Thank you for sharing your incredible hike. I enjoyed every video.

[@kudlakp]

Well done and thanks for taking us along!

[@sandrap3047]

Girl, you still got it! Loved watching your hike! Loved seeing sweet Taco too! Would love to see you and Evan on the PCT one day!

[@lindarainey5759]

Congratulations!!! You rocked it, girl!!! 🎉

[@alanmooney3466]

Amazing journey, thanks for bringing us all along!!

[@josephfore8631]

Great, great videos ! Loved them !

[@ajcoelho]

Hey Liz, I knew you had it! Thank you so much for sharing this hike. Very nice to see how Taco lifted your spirits up. Oh and hail is definitely harder than rain. I'll bet it hurts a bit more too. 🙂See you on the next one.

[@dougsneider722]

Thank you for the great vlogs. The scenery was beautiful. You’re an inspiration. Congrats!

[@jamesbodie9443]

Thanks so much for sharing your hike. On this last episode, I was reminded of the original series The Stand, except the views were so much greater and so much more real

[@jameshiggins-thomas9617]

Congratulations! Thank you for bringing us along!

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Loved the photos at the end. And the thumbnail. A great touch … But more importantly, we did it! Congratulations again. This was a trail that won’t be forgotten, and an experience that won’t be forgotten, both individually and together. Thanks for taking/dragging me along! For sure without a doubt we’ll hike together again (though less than 30-50 miles total please.)

[@rasmusklitgaard3648]

Congratz on another thru hike and thanks for taking us along.

[@reidsanford6276]

Congrats! I love this trail! Boffin

[@fhazen01]

Gonna miss your videos. I watched yours and Evans through the whole journey. I enjoyed every one. Safe travels home and looking forward to your next adventure.

[@brentnelson8043]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!

[@seangrams7502]

Amazing adventure! Thanks so much for sharing it. We are having tacos tonight. Rock on, Liz.

[@barbarasmith8090]

Liz I always love you videos! Thanks for sharing. Keep hiking on! Congrats on finishing the beautiful trail! Thanks for being real on the trail. I have cried many times on the trail for unknown reasons. I love Taco. You still have it and always will. When I lived in Colorado it took months to get used the altitude. We lived around 7500 ft. So coming from Tennessee was a huge difference. You did great! I get sad when your trips end! Loved being on the trail with you!

[@waltlongmire5832]

I’ve enjoyed your hike. I’d only seen a couple of your videos back when you were hiking with IBTAT. I then looked you up after seeing you in Leadville. So glad I did. You have a fun style of vlogging.

[@BonesInTheWild]

Way to go, Liz Kidder! It has been great following you and Evan on the CT. Thanks for the inspiration……I too wonder if I still have “it”. Stories like yours are motivating….keep it up! 😊

[@garylindenmuth7468]

Another enjoyed video, love your journey

[@ReikiontheRun]

Nooooo! I don't want it to be over!

[@linedog6186]

Congrats Liz..Another huge accomplishment. Great to see you back on the trail with Luke and Evan. Great videos, thanks for bringing us along.

[@Lisa-gq8ve]

You are a bad ass and and inspiration. I had just left Colorado when you stared the trail. I had travelled the whole CT by RV without knowing it. So watching you go through some of the same places that i had just visited was cool. Silverton was my favorite. I would be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear watching this. Maybe one day I will hike the CT. Much love to you.✌

[@Lisa-gq8ve]

Oh and congratulations!

[@abrar4662]

Your journey was beautiful in every way possible. Thank you for sharing, and inspiring, and being a true light

[@kevintallent1715]

Liz, CONGRATS on conquering the CT despite the challenges you faced. You and Evan make quite the hiking team! Glad Luke got to at least join you at the beginning but missed not having him return. Looks like you are a regular cowgirl now based on the shots of you in the saddle with Taco! I've watched you guys now on the AT and CT and hoping you reconvene for PCT (or other)? Based on Evan's comments it sounds like he's going to need some extra encouragement for another long hike?

[@1raymidkiff]

Been following you since the AT. This was my favorite of your video series and I don’t know why exactly

[@PedroNord]

🦋

[@joesugarman1355]

Congrats on finishing the trail! I'll admit that I haven't really watched your channel since you did the AT. (Was that really five years ago?!) Really enjoying following you and Evan on this hike. Such incredible scenery. Resubscribed!

[@CC58]

A memory of a lifetime! Thanks for taking us along!

[@sharoonkim]

brava!!!! you are an inspiration to alt tattooed girl hikers everywhere ☺️

[@katyfreed9242]

thank you for your great videos! I was on the trail this summer(started 2 weeks before you) and had to exit early due to an injury that was so disappointing so got to experience the part I missed with you and Evan. I also hiked the AT the same year you did with Evan and had no issues so this was definitely a bummer for me. Thank you again.

[@robertthomas766]

So Good to see You again. You're still so strong!❤️🙏

[@kennethlovelace9403]

You defiantly are an inspiration! Thanks to you and Evan for a wonderful trip.

[@bldfit46]

It's been awesome following you and your journey. Your personality is so truly beautiful as well as your smile. The videos and views were awesome. Knowing that your from my old hometown of Amesbury makes following you so much more special. Hoping you have an awesome rest of year and wishing more journeys are in your future.

[@michelleirvine9688]

Thank you so much for your videos. You and Evan have inspired me to do my first ever 5 day hike at the age of 41 here in New Zealand 😊

[@erinsandy6242]

Do you prefer hiking boots, or sneakers with gators?

[@indy2240]

You made a difference in one person's life if that matters.....Be proud......

[@victorcocco8033]

Hi Handstand at 3:06 .

[@indy2240]

You got this......and I'm proud of you but I'm a nobody but one that has lived it and now is fading away due to age.........Live live it is short. You made my last years better and will never know.

[@indy2240]

You made me cry and I'm not a girl.... Be proud.

[@maddycakes9127]

I just wanted to share how much your videos mean to me… I am a quadriplegic, and can no longer do backpacking due to trails like that being totally inaccessible LOL and when I watch your videos it’s like I’m out on the trail ❤

[@darrennase3526]

When I was eighteen I worked for a traveling harvest crew out of Kansas. I drove trucks in the fields next to the cutters. One of the guys on the crew bought some land in Colorado near Pagosa Springs . ( Which is a slightly touristy town that smells like sulpher.) I was surprised how big the mountains were. Some were snow capped with the tops in the clouds. I didn`t realize that in some of the higher elevations it snowed in the summer. I am sure it was a different animal compared to the east coast. We went through wolf creek pass. I have enjoyed watching most of your videos. Sure beats anything on tv these days.

[@gretat1087]

This was just the best series and I’m sad it’s over. Watching you and Evan and your different perspectives in videos added a the authentic experience. Thank you for sharing so many of your thoughts and emotions with us. That thumbnail was perfection.

[@bill8384]

Handstands! Handstands! Handstands! Fantastic! 😊

[@catchheronthefly4532]

Wow, congratulations! Yours and Evan’s videos have been my first time watching anyone hike the CT. I have been left stunned by the beauty of this trail. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I watched you guys do the AT. Thank you for taking us along!

[@predzhead]

Way to go Handstand...I've followed both you and Evan since the start of the AT. I love what an odd couple yall are. I actually cried just a little bit when he married you and Luke on top of Katahdin. . I hope yall will always continue to be a part of each other's lives.. congratulations young lady.. yall crushed it 👊🏻😁

[@paparazzicrissy]

You are so bad ass Liz! You inspire me 100%! You’re sober! You quit smoking! You donated your kidney and you made it!! So happy for you! I’d love to find you on a trail someday! ❤ We did Mt Whitney last year! Reach out and I can tell ya how ;) totally doable without the lottery!!

[@debsmith7050]

You still got it Girl! Great hike Liz! Thanks for the handstands the gorgeous views the honest chats and for being you 💙 Well done 🎉

[@sandragoodson1892]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I know it was a challenging trail but you did it. You are strong! I loved how Taco and Cowboy became your trail family. It kind of boosted this whole experience to another level for us following along in the comfort of our homes. You never know who you will bond with... first Evan and now Taco! LOL Congratulations.

[@hikersmama8813]

Congratulations!!! Enjoyed it immensely!! Don’t be a stranger!

[@lovedogsontheloose]

I hiked with someone for a few days who'd found a Croc and was carrying it out. Not sure what she did with it, but I texted her about it and sent her a link to this video. Maybe it's yours? I'm thinking you may have finished a day or two before us (you passed my car in the video at the parking lot 😄). Congratulations!! Hope you are recuperating well!

[@DavidGrace-b2p]

Congratulations Liz.Things change as we get older.We doubt our abilities. But you persevered and completed the trail. You are quite the girl You nailed that handstand on that piece of wood. Im sure you overcame plenty on this hike including a golden shower. Peace

[@LongBranchSaloon-l6l]

Congrats!! Strong work! Loved watching your journey!

[@BearTrekAdventures]

Congrats what an awesome journey 🎉. Enjoyed following along! Nice to see you push through it.

[@somedavechannel]

Hey! You Kick Ass!.. you were one of my insprirations for my AT Thru last year! Glad you proved it to yourself you still got it! WTG!

[@vickywatkins1245]

You made it!!!! Brava! Thanks for the outstanding videos !

[@danik6393]

Congrats!!! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 Enjoyed every minute of it!

[@Hikingin70sshorts]

That’s it Liz, the way you bonded with Taco, Luke has to get you a horse. Great hike! Thanks!

[@ToddStull]

Luke is kind of like the godfather of hiking... gets in the mix early for damage control 😂 and get you going in the right direction. Great adventure!

[@DrJohn493]

Congratulation of the completion but it did look like a bit of post-hike depression was setting in a bit early for everyone, Taco not so much.

[@MikeWD9JJV]

Congratulations! I enjoyed the videos of your trip!

[@janefm9220]

Bravo, Liz! What another amazing accomplishment 🥾

[@gakitten33]

Thank you for sharing!! I love you & Luke & Evan so much! Y’all are such good people. And also, when you cry, I cry! 🥹 congrats on another thru hike!

[@suncatching]

Hey!! Some friends and I did the trail from 8/8-9/16, just got back.Your videos helped me feel a lil more confident before going into it and I'm watching this one now reminiscing hahaha. What a beautiful place. Thanks for documenting your journey :) I got caught in basically 4 days straight of precipitation from Silverton to Durango too but it cleared up beautifully on the last day for an amazing send off. Happy trails!!!!

[@milliehayes8285]

Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us❤ The views were phenomenal.

[@tammystringer4044]

Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing your journey. All the best!

[@alexwbanks70]

Thank you for taking us along. I've been following you since you started the AT. In 2021 and 2022 I sectioned hiked to Twin lakes and plan on continuing on next year.

[@hikergirl5693]

Congratulations to you & Evan. That hail/thunder storm was no joke, I would have been very nervous. Great video, views & footage was great. Thanks for sharing the journey. Safe travels home.😍

[@bobg7764]

Thanks Liz, long time follower. Another epic adventure! Loved it! Don’t forget there always the “ Pct” in 5 years. ❤

[@cherylwarren285]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am so grateful.. tons of beautiful views & loved the handstands 😁

[@wandacraig8286]

The rain, hail, lightening, cold, and altitude, wow what a hike!!! I loved this last video wrapping it up and the little bit emotion was fitting! I could never do what you do on my best days when I was fit. Such an awesome journey. Sad that Evan is retiring from thru hikes, but he was amazing! Oh and two birthdays during this hike!! Just awesome!! Taco was amazing too, some of the terrain I watched her on was indeed dicey! She deserves a months rest! Well I'm sad that it's over but relieved too that you all get to go home, be with your loved ones and know that this was indeed a major accomplishment!!🎉🎂🥵🥶🏆

[@lynnefinley4100]

I have same reaction being outside in lightning. “F-k.” Two questions: How long have you been able to handstand (been doing it since you were 3?), and weren’t your legs cold in shorts?! Taco will miss you, too. You’re awesome, and thanks for taking us along! Yes, you still “got it”!!

[@marychambers7298]

Liz I would love to see you Luke and Evan hike the PCT together I think it would be an epic epic KZbin series lots of love from Oregon💚

[@OneEyeHikes]

So enjoyed ur vlog! I finished the CT in 2022, and ur videos brought it all back. Thanks!

[@dorothypinckney885]

You guys did a great job! Keep on hiking Liz, I have been following since your AT days. Scenery was stunning and I enjoyed watching you, Evan and Luke

[@DASHToTheEnd]

I guess the ending wasn't quite as climactic as tying the knot on Katahdin, but nice none the less. 😉 congrats! BTW, it was you and IBTAT that inspired me to get out and LASH'ing the AT ... loving it!

[@mikeservidz420]

Amazing vacation adventure, great video work , u guys did great in the extreme heat . Thank you for such great content . You rock

[@herpiggy4857]

Congratulations Liz, following you on this adventure was quite a event. Believe me, after watching You suffer thru this hike it leaves no doubt that YOU DEFINITELY DO still “have it”. You are one tough chick!!! Look forward to your next video regardless of what it is about. You and Evan are quite a team!!!

[@ChrisHufnagel_Polymath]

Great Job! Had fun watching your adventures from Denver. Hope to try it one day myself.

[@jayarnold4149]

Liz, you’re beautiful in every way, I have enjoyed the four of you who would figure I’d be watching KZbin videos about somebody else’s life’s wrapped up in it and emotionally ,such beautiful scenery. Taco the horse she is quite the trooper to go through that terrain. joel and taco you can tell they’re quite the team the love they have for each other. as for Evan your a class act. wish you all the best on your next adventures .jay RI

[@rituka]

Way to go Liz! I knew you had it in you all along. Awesome trail video series. Keep them coming.
