This is the first installment of my Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hike Series. In this video, I start my thru-hike at the southern terminus of the #CDT (Crazy Cook Monument) on the border of Mexico and New Mexico. It's the start of a 2,700 mile long journey along the Continental Divide, across the United States, and through the back country of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. In addition to exploring the Chihuhuan desert in the boot heel of New Mexico, I also explore how I feel starting my second long distance backpacking trip ever in my life and my first #ContinentalDivideTrail thru-hike.

Have you ever tried to drive to a trailhead and it didn't go as planned? What was your story?

Elise! I'm super excited for this. By the way, your PCT gear list was one of the most helpful in planning my own thru-hike, hoping to see another one from you for this one!

Really looking forward to your hike. Great style, love the narration. I can tell it's going to be a good story. Well done! As someone who grew up in the Southern Arizona desert, Pro Tip: wear light colors! Dark colors absorb so much more heat! ☀️🏜️🔥🌡️🥵 I'll never understand why sun hoodies are made in black, navy blue, dark green - unless you want extra roasting! Thanks for the effort and sharing your hike! ✌🏽

thank you so much!! I wasn't sure how the narration was going to come through but keeping journals along the way helped a ton. I hear you on the dark colors, I did have a sun umbrella too which helped. In the future, though, I'll be looking for lighter colors.

great video! most thru hiker vlogs are unwatchable garbage and/or simply feeding the algorithm for monetization. thank you and looking forward to future videos.

apparently they've now installed gates in all but 2 locations of the boot heal, so no more crawling through the dirt
@eliseott
@eliseott 5 месяцев назад
sounds like 2 times of still crawling through the dirt haha but truly there weren't too many even at the time I went through. I'm sure the trail will just keep getting better!

Did someone really shoot at the southern terminus stone or what is that circular hole?
@eliseott
@eliseott Год назад
Ya know? I have no idea I just assumed it was some funky erosion at the time but o guess shooting is possible too 😅
@holykuhmeinefresse
@holykuhmeinefresse Год назад
@@eliseott Pretty sure it's from a bullet. Plenty of metal signs in the desert are riddled with holes. It's not too far fetched imo that someone would should at the terminus, which is a little sad tbh.

@@holykuhmeinefresse yeah I’ve definitely seen the bullet riddled signs. Doing it at the border seems risky but I guess it’s still public land 🤷🏼‍♀️
