After the first time I walked across the United States, I really wanted to do it again—but stuff kept getting in the way. I'm happy to say that in April, I'm finally headed out to attempt another trail from Mexico to Canada...I'm sure there won't be any obstacles at all.

(As is my custom, I didn't entirely finish this. Please ignore the sloppy background; I don't have a computer with Harmony on it anymore and I won't til I'm back from my adventure.)

Another place I like to stay - Elkhorn Hot Springs. Soak in the springs, get a shower, stay in a room, and breakfast in the morning. #odinwallace #odinbikepacking #greatdividetrail #gdmbr #tourdivide2022 #tourdivide #cdt #bicycle #bikepackingtrip #surly #surlykrampus #bikepackingadventures #mountains #bikelife #bikepacking #yoyo #continentaldividetrail #bike #krampus #montana #nobo https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNP0FYuQrZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a 2,700-mile trek from Canada to Mexico through remote mountainous terrain and iconic American landscapes. The Continental Divide is a truly epic adventure right in the heart of the US. Our friends at Rawhyde have put together a special route along the Divide that is perfectly suited for big ADV bikes and can be accomplished in 9 days of riding. Check out all you'll discover riding the Continental Divide ➡️ bit.ly/rhdivide

[𝗠𝗮𝗰'𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝗫] It took a long time, but 2017 brought me back to the long-distance trails of the United States with a thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. This trail heads (officially) 3,100 mi / 5,000 km from Mexico to Canada via New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana (and just a little bit of Idaho).⁣ ⁣ I set off with @itsbleucheese and @simajohnr, two of my friends from the Pacific Crest Trail, and encountered an entirely different world from my first thru-hike (the PCT). In Colorado's San Juan Mountains, I dealt with hiking through snow (for days at a time) for the first time. I also carried snowshoes for the entirety of Southern Colorado and never once put them on (I'm still upset about this). Then, in Wyoming and Montana, I unsuccessfully sought to lay eyes on a wild grizzly bear (I did see a lot of poop and pawprints).⁣ ⁣ Two questions I get a lot now?⁣ ⁣ "Which did you like better, the PCT or the CDT?"⁣ ⁣ Honestly, it's hard to say. The PCT was my first long trail so it will always have a special place in my hiking heart. The CDT was much more of an adventure as far as the on-trail challenges and mental struggles were concerned (this is a positive). I made excellent friends on each (whom I still talk to and hike with), so it really is hard to pick a favorite. Honestly, I would probably hike either one again (given infinite time and resources).⁣ ⁣ The other question I get a lot?⁣ ⁣ "When are you going to hike the Appalachian Trail?"⁣ ⁣ Honestly, probably never. If you are curious as to why I suggest you head over to the blog (link in bio) to read my detailed post as to why. But if you love the AT more than anything and aren't okay with people sharing your opinions, I suggest you keep the amount of inflammation in your comment to a minimum. Disagreeing is okay (sometimes).⁣ ⁣ 📸: @simajohnr

Thanks to the National Scenic Trails I finally got some calves. 🙃 Who is heading out in the near future onto some long (or short) trails this summer? . . . . . #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #explorecalifornia #hikertrash #adventurephotography #nicehike #hikingadventures #hikersofinstagram #hikingbangers #wanderer #outside_project #wildernessculture #hikecalifornia #altrarunning #pacificcresttrail #continentaldividetrail #appalachiantrail (at Yosemite National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lBtfdlxdN/?igshid=188myb7jp418k

I’ve learned a lot between my hike of the PCT and my prep for my upcoming Oregon Desert Trail and Continental Divide Trail hikes. What gear I will need and what I won’t. What my specific preferences are as far as my hiking style and goals. But the most important part is how crucial a flat lay of all your gear is. #cdt #odt #cdt2020 #odt2020 #continentaldividetrail #oregondeserttrail #ulhiking #ultralight #ulbackpacking #backpacking #flatlay #katabaticgeat #nunatakusa #palante #montbell #patagonia #kuiu #hyperlitemountaingear #mountainlaureldesigns #coldsoak #skylightgear #onda #cdtc #thermarest #altra #longdistancehiking #longtrails #triplecrown #getoutside #nitecore (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_0dyWH5t8/?igshid=qvzmnsmnt6lg

. September 16, 2013 Watertown Lake US/Canadian Border I completed the 3000 mile Continental Divide Trail The Last of the Triple Crown Appalachian Trail completed 3X 07’,11’,17’ Pacific Crest Trail 12’ Thru-hikers, End to Enders , Hiker Trash 5 months of hiking alone thru desert, snow, crazy ass thunderstorms, huge mountains, some of the most remote wildernesses in the lower 48. One of the most challenging experiences of my life. Laughing sleeping in the desert, crying in waist deep snow, accidentally walking thru a wild fire, hitch hiking to town in a hail storm. The ups and downs of emotions and crazy terrain. It was all worth it every minute, of blood, sweat and tears. All came down to this. I’ll never forget it. All Of these hikes alone. Total solitude one of the proudest moments in my life. . . #makeportraits #thruhiker #photography #appalachiantrail #pacificcresttrail #continentaldividetrail #hikertrash #craigwilliamjohnston #hiker #hike #colorado #newmexico #wyoming #montana #idaho #watertonlakes #watertonlakesnationalpark #glaciernationalpark (at Waterton Lakes National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nL1thFixY/?igshid=wdnohvggdjzd
