The Amazing San Juans | Colorado Trail #9

[@LizKidder]

Such an amazing section of the trail, so glad I get to relive it via your video!!! Thanks Evan!!!

[@Get_Some_Nature]

Aren't the San Juans so rugged, remote and just gorgeous!!!! ❤❤❤ Brings back the memories from my 2021 thruhike. 😊 Also I'm from the middle of Missouri!

[@debsmith7050]

Great fun hiking along with you Evan. TY

[@mooseliver1772]

Always happy to watch your videos! Today is binge day to catch up!😊

[@kudlakp]

The San Juans are amazing!

[@EllenLangfordPaints]

Another great gift of a video. And thanks for the Merle Haggard reference. Love that.

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Glad you liked it!

[@jennifersimpson6385]

What a great video, those views!

[@gretat1087]

Excellent as always! I was a little sad to see you part ways with Joel and Taco! They seemed like great trail buddies. I’m going to be bummed when this hike is over. I love watching Liz’s and your videos!

[@daisychain4096]

I love your tarp setups reminds me of the 82nd days great vids hope to start the at in March fingers crossed

[@wandacraig8286]

Dealing with that kind of cold, my joints would not work, but with the rain too, that would be the deal breaker for me. So glad you could do it! Bye to Joel and Taco!😢

[@SalineScott]

That is such a beautiful area. I bet that would be fun to explore those mines. Scary though

[@vibelife5133]

Good stuff! ✌️❤️

[@johnnyrussell8729]

Amazing views !!

[@shcmoly]

You and Liz seem to be genuine trail buddies, thanks for the videos Evan.

[@jayarnold4149]

Love your videos, beautiful scenery, very courageous /dangerous Joel taking taco out on the trail not knowing what to expect up ahead bad enough just doing it by yourself specially, with the snow, terrain ,rocks hills,but he’s doing it. What a great group you have together .jay RI

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

That was courageous. Every blowdown (for example) was another challenge for the horse

[@DavidDavis-Central_FL]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Thanks for the video!

[@DrJohn493]

Another memorable section of the CT. The spot where you set up for the evening at about 16:25 is the same spot my 2008 CTF crew set up camp for a few days of trail work. The segment starting at about 19:11 is a section I worked in 2006 with the CTF. Enjoyed seeing all that scenery between Lake City and Stony Pass again after all these years.

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Thanks for all your comments on the various videos! Yes, that’s some amazing scenery!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Gosh - hate all the rain for you!!

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Me too! But we got lucky with rain at the start of the trip

[@TheWeekendHiker]

This has to be, by far, my favorite section. The San Juans are gorgeous. I don't believe that I have seen anything quite like it in the US before. On a side note, I have taken that train you were talking about. I was wondering how the water carries have been going through the mountains? Thank you for all your hard work you have been putting in to share your trip with all of us. I saw in Liz's video that you were editing while hiking, like a boss. Take care and God bless Evan.

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

The water was pretty easy to find. The snow is still melting. Lots of snow earlier this year.

[@DaveHoffmancowboyhiker]

Thank you for sharing! I'm thinking of doing the CT or part of it horse back. Would love to know more about Taco's prep for the trip

[@ctrawick3]

You do some of your best work in freezing cold, in the middle of the night. For a comment though, I bet you would benefit from a nice new tarp ! You’ve def gotten your money out of your AT one!

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Great point!

[@johnholliday1695]

Another great video, Evan. It's impressive that you can do all that daily life on the trail requires AND edit top-notch videos. I imagine you'll soon be en route to TN, a joyful reunion with Andrea, and a belated birthday celebration. I'm sure you'll be eager to see your new grandson, as well! I'm going to miss your videos after you and Liz reach Durango. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Nice comment, thanks very much!

[@hikersmama8813]

Incredible scenery!! Y’all should get a ride back and just continue on the cdt 😊

[@CC58]

I rode the Durango to Silverton steam train. I stops for hikers that stick out their thumb.

[@keithstewart2639]

Thanks for the video the views were unreal. I know you had some cold wet weather which was not too good. Like I said before those views were killer. I was out in there last year.. If I get out there this year. I am definitely gonna take a little hike. Plus maybe take a train ride.

[@Jewelvonmayhem]

Bears don't like horses? I thought they ate them. lol

[@jimpflugrath6220]

Great videos as always. How do the sandals work in rainy freezing weather? Or did I miss that you switched to something else for your feet?

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

In rain I wear socks. It can get pretty cold because with sandals your toes are engaged and your feet stay warm
