The Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada is a destination trail for hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders and buggy drivers. B & R Merz began their CDT journey early in 2019, meeting many new friends along the way and creating lasting memories. Because of snow in the high altitudes, they skipped the greater portion of Colorado and have dreams of returning to the trail and completing the trail drive. In the meantime, we are replacing the light rubber tires with a heavier style that will hopefully withstand the miles still ahead.
These adventures only spark the imaginations of what our courageous forefathers undertook to traverse the western plains and mountains when they traveled from St. Louis the the western regions and the logistics of dealing with wagon repairs along the way, without the comforts of pickups and horse trailers for support.
Hats off to the Merz family for following t heir dreams and checking another item off their bucket list. You can follow their adventure on their published blog below:
