WE MADE IT TO NEW MEXICO! LAST STATE! | CDT Days 120-121

[@jenniferbyrd1970]

I’m gonna be so sad when this series is over

[@jarhead3322]

Ok I’ll say it, those knees were pretty close together in the vast wilderness of New Mexico

[@nam_hn]

I first heard about Otter's story through Kyle's channel. Hike safely.

[@kellyhays23]

@@nam_hn his video about him is fantastic! I watched it after this section to learn the whole story

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

It was a terrible tragedy. BUT, you're with a team, mind the weather and have a Garmin. Very different. ​@@kellyhays23

[@spottEDbadger]

Poor Oter

[@stillwaterhiker]

You said it best in this video Kelly, I love good people! Congrats on getting to NM!

[@HH-li5xl]

The trail always provides !! Great humans !

[@fannypack96]

Friends ask what is the best thing about hiking & I always say in one form or another, “it is the people, the people, the people, both on & off-trail”…

[@Step-n-Wolf]

I frequently drive over the continental divide on Hwy 53 in New Mexico. Beautiful Ponderosa Pine forest. Never noticed a trail there though.

[@memphistim2001]

I finished a flipflop thru-hike at Cumbres Pass mid October 2015 and decided to continue south with my tramily to Ghost Ranch. The weather was iffy at altitude so we played it safe and road walked. Four weeks later Otter (who I can't remember meeting) headed solo on that route. Late fall in the Rockies is no joke. Do not take any unnecessary risks. I want to see you all safely at Crazy Cook!

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

RIP Otter🙏 The kindness of people you meet on trail makes your heart burst💗💗🥰🥰

[@mikehamilton3833]

Kelly enjoy northern NM. Southern NM will be desert and water is really scarce and iffy. Good luck and congrats on the last stretch to the finish line.

[@nicholeripley1745]

Youre videos are such reminders of how there are nice people in this world still 😊

[@RickINFJ]

RIP Otter. 🙏 Kyle's story on him was amazing. One minute Kelly's sharing a watering hole with cows..the next she's eating Beef Creations. 😂 Take care and enjoy the brisket! ✌️

[@JoeyJackson-200T]

So cool meeting the bikers. So great to still meet nice people

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Love the little Christmas trees everywhere. That is beautiful country out there. Don’t blame you for camping with those nice folks. Have fun.😊

[@melonygroff2641]

Another great video! I just love how much joy you find in the many blessings from views to food to people.....and Side Quests always has a smile for you - so sweet! 😊

[@robertsanders8866]

That door Holy smokes Crazy how life ends for some and goes on for others And the importance of our decisions Thx for showing tht

[@RolandKrastins]

Hello New Mexico!😅 The state greeted you with falls yellow leaves and Christmas trees!😊 You're cow whisper! They sense your love 😍 for them and cleared a path for you.! I'm sure glad the 🚲 bikers were there with water and delicious beef briskets!

[@ronniebarker3501]

Followed you every step of the way. Watched this video from Daisy State Park here in your home state. We got rain last night! Gonna be sad for your hike to be over but I know you’re excited. God bless you!

[@tinypanther]

The Land of Enchantment ❤

[@Evergreen...920]

Wow the leaves blowing, so gorgeous

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdee Kelley! Beautiful episode! Love northern NM and glad y’all do too! 🏔️🏔️

[@OG-PapaDude]

It was about this time last year that I was camping near Cuba, NM, not even realizing that I was practically camping on the CDT until I started picking up hikers on the roadwalk into town. It's a beautiful area. I was there about a week waiting for the solar eclipse. And you're gonna love the hot springs just north of Silver City. Be sure you check out the cliff dwellings while you're there.

[@motherdaughtertravels]

How awesome ❤ nothing beats good people and water 😅

[@BafMilr052]

Would love to hear about Side Quest’s main quest. Is he on leave from his job or in between jobs? How often has he done thru hikes?

[@tonyclark6958]

I’m so glad those people were there for you guys.

[@jpascaln]

I have heard Otters story. He was very experienced. Good of you to honor him. Makes me want to tell you to be safe. Wow! Last state. Great hike.

[@RidgeWalker8414]

Glad you had great weather and experience thru CO. May the trail keep blessing you in this home stretch!

[@Jllcountry5118]

Beautiful …those yellows in those aspens ❤ keep goin 💪 Glad u got to join the group and camp.

[@jimscott2998]

The scenery is stunning, I loved the leaf shower and at 10+K altitude I hope your heart is doing well. I love the smell of tannic acid from rotting leaves and bark, and the golden and brown trail you’ve travelling. No o hikers only get to see the Spring time scenery while we share the wonderful Fall. Lookin gud, stay safe.✅

[@AbleHammer]

You needed water and the trail provided! ❤. Pretty cool 😎

[@daveparsons2082]

What a way to end a great day, stay safe!

[@oldwagon-pens]

That would be so memorable walking up on those people camping.Good food and good people.I'm sorry to hear about Otter.

[@deannnerem6589]

You need a GRAYL that takes out viruses, heavy metals, and microbes as well as everything Sawyers takes out of water. I tried it on a cow pond, and it got my water clear. Took the sample to Iowa State University to test it, and it came back the same as well water! Score Grayl. Little bit more carry weight, but so worth it.

[@andreapercy9859]

So awesome, Kelly!

[@dannyjamison8337]

I've been to each of the "Four Corner" States. Glad that you are finally out of Colorado... I lived in Durango for a while, have no desire to ever return to that state. One thing I will guarantee you, is, New Mexico in November will feel like heaven on Earth! Looking forward to the conclusion of your thru hike, stoked that you are so close to the end!

[@debbiepowell8172]

What a great day in NM. Water and brisket all in one stop. Another beautiful video.

[@jodiearrington]

Wow! Y'all are almost done!!!

[@timwolfers7880]

Yeah, water sources are a big challenge in NM. Carry as much as you can through the entire state. 😊

[@Victory1981]

You still have a long way to go, but down to your last state. I’ve been to New Mexico(Carlsbad Caverns National Park) And I did some hiking in the desert and foothills. You might see Billy the Kid riding his horse…lol.

[@billyshears921]

New Mexico is, yet another beautiful chapter to this journey.

[@bryanford1139]

Ya, ya'll r like snugly close in this one..........C'MON give us the skinny! :)

[@linfennell8751]

😂

[@vickifg13]

I know right, just say it❤❤😂

[@fretlessed25]

I ran out of water hiking in Southern New Mexico once in a place called Dog Canyon. The trail was an exposed cliff baking us in the sun with no shade, in August. Was genuinely scared by the end and water never tasted so good then right after that.

[@robmechanic]

Yay last state! You’ve done a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It’s been amazing! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@kflorence2219]

Great job reaching New Mexico!

[@st1ffee]

I have a cousin in New Mexico I haven’t seen in forty years

[@MaxZomboni]

4:07 He had a SPOT Satellite Communication Device, but according to published reports, he canceled the subscription and sent it home so he would have enough money to buy weed. That was just one of the bad decisions he made. Lesson learned, don't go hiking in the back-country in the wintertime unless you have adequate cold weather gear and good winter survival skills.

[@turragorman59]

How fun!! I bike and I enjoy the bike people we meet. Have a great time.

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Beautiful country!

[@davidcox9115]

Congratulations ! Well done! Keep on keepin on.

[@Victory1981]

You’re going to feel it after all that hiking.

[@jackgill2501]

Kelly, Good Saturday night! Always great and welcome to New Mexico…. Take care and safe travels!

[@kennethschaidle5995]

You are probably already past there but hopefully, you plan to take the Gila alternate. It's one of the few CDT parts I've done. It's beautiful.

[@russhay422]

Seeing the Miracle Whip is such a culinary disappointment. 😂 Great episode!

[@michaelbailot5479]

They should change that privy door. Yup, New Mexico is full of surprises.

[@sammymartinez556]

Welcome to NM ,,,need water let me no …Wer you r ,, be nice to meet you guys in person 😊

[@owensfolx]

My favorite State in the Lower 48!

[@Victory1981]

I heard really good things about Taos as well.

[@3TruckProductions]

New tent? lets see it!

[@cribbage]

Brisket on trail! Living the dream!

[@SnowboardJedi]

That area gets really really harsh winters with a lot of snow....the highway y'all Will cross in a bit closes for winter

[@pierrrejette9023]

Thanks!

[@deannnerem6589]

Pink blaze for sure! 😊

[@rangerinthewoods]

I remember herding and feeding the cows on my Grandpa's dairy farm.

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

I wish that I had caught you earlier than I did Drats xxx

[@uoobwatcher]

Good people are good to find.

[@StephenMcNeight-q3h]

With only a few hundred miles left I was wondering how many pairs of shoes you’ve been through? Think of getting some Hokas myself.

[@ericorange441]

Otters story popped up earlier this week and I watched it. Sad story

[@linfennell8751]

😢

[@johnsandell4501]

YAHOOOO, Brisket👍👍👍

[@gregharmon3797]

Great ending to your day !!!

[@kevinscott660]

Awesome

[@wendypelaez9305]

Rich and I love New Mexico.

[@SnowboardJedi]

Brisket and H20 has to be like hitting the lottery of CDT camping

[@TheRoadfarmer]

I wouldnt be so worried about bulls in a cow herd. Its the cows with fairly young calves that will mawl you and make you wish you walked further away lol

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. Steppin out ,, Steppin on ,,, Can't believe it's so dry and NO snow ,, you guy's are spoiled by all nature's offerings ..... So nice for you to have friends and others on trail ,, those Briskit meals look to die for (hope no one does) ... Stay Safe ....

[@sallys2423]

When you first mentioned Chama in the last video I thought you said trauma!

[@vibelife5133]

RIP Otter🙏

[@walteragentplummer7031]

❤❤

[@JP-lw5xs]

I read that story. So sad.

[@HüsamettinAcar-j6c]

Türkiye den mutlu günler

[@renoflames]

Like, Share, Subscribe, Comment everyone....

[@sapoverde65]

You could have milked one of those cows, glad the nice people gave you water and brisket.

[@oneeyeopen5044]

Sweetie, please see your doctor and tell him about your breathing on high altitudes. He will give you an albuterol inhaler that will open your lungs wide awake and you won’t feel that way because that’s a scary feeling. It’s a simple fix you know that you’re in a medical fieldcongratulations on hitting New Mexico

[@DavidHall-d8q]

God provides .... PK

[@Eric-i2g8u]

Hello kelly❤eric

[@Data_on_trail]

At the risk of sounding like an old hippie, do ya think maybe if more people hiked and biked or got out into wilderness - that there would be more nice people? 🤔 maybe ...

[@LostBoy88-c1o]

I want to save all of you (A Few Moments Later) beef creations...

[@RidgeWalker8414]

Hiker hunger is a real thing:)

[@williambranch4283]

There are pumas and bears there ;-(

[@Kali_mexican]

Have yal lost a lot weight or no and I know yalmgot like hulk legs from walking the earf😊

[@dannyjamison8337]

May I quote you on that, sir?

[@oneeyeopen5044]

You are not supposed to drink that water.

[@chad0202]

I just got through watching the story on Otter. I think it was yesterday I saw it on Kyle Hates Hiking.
