The Continental Divide Trail: New Mexico (1/4) - GoPro Hiking Video

[@Major-Steve]

Painfully beautiful

[@DoraDominguez-yl2gt]

The back in Holland caught my attention. A very long time a ago (20 years plus) I wrote a feature article about a hiking duo from Holland making their way through Amarillo, TX. The Continental Divide post reminded me of the story and the outdoor zeal of two friends from Holland hiking across the country and the time taken to stop for an interview with the Amarillo Globe-News.

It's interesting seeing the changing landscapes during the hike. Great video

I’m so grateful for this. I want to hike the CDT through NM next year for my 70th birthday. I was thinking to do it with a hammock only but it looks like there is an awful lot of tree-less areas. I also hadn’t realized how much road walking there is. Comment? Thank you. Canyonelder

Thanks! A hammock would be tough for a decent amount of NM, and yes, there is a lot of road walking in NM unfortunately. I went with the mentality of keeping a continuous foot path but allowed myself to take different alternates to get off the road sometimes and see some prettier things. Some people would just hitch roads and hike trails. Whatever makes ya happy. The Gila was great. Really pretty desert in northern NM before it starts transitioning to Colorado-ish mountains and aspens

I’ll be 58 in April. Let’s do it!

Breathtaking atmosphere and scenery. This desert trail is majestic!

This is one of the best CDT videos. I walked your way in 2022, April/May. I see you went the way I did. Road to Grants after going up on the mesa (I didn't find the way down, it was a longer bushwhack!). Then to Ghost Ranch. It looked brutal at the end! I avoided the final crest and walked road and rail (!) to Cumbres Pass. Thank you for this fantastic film.

[@kurtis-adams]

Nice! Thank you!

[@J_Dillaa]

I was in the Gila around the same time. Beautiful scenery 🤘🏼

[@shorty3636]

Came across your post on Facebook. Fantastic video of your CDT adventure. Looking forward to seeing more. Happy hiking 🤙

[@dianespears6057]

Nice! Thank you.

Some good dirty drifter POV

[@kurtis-adams]

I kept the dead bodies off screen

[@jasonstehlik7867]

Pretty awesome Kurtis! I want to do the New Mexico part of the trail for sure!

[@kurtis-adams]

Thanks! You should!

[@CaptainFuzzzy]

At the @22:25 mark you are in a field of junipers. I work with the Chicago botanic garden. We are studying juniper ecology and I was wondering if you knew where along your hike this was?

🤘🏻

[@martinfromholland751]

Now back in Holland and thinking back to the CDT, I think New Mexico is one of the most beautiful parts.

[@kurtis-adams]

The desert is definitely special! I really enjoyed the Gila and north of Cuba

When does The Blob show up?
