Imagine taking that step...into somewhere else, with only a backpack on your back from which you live, and thrive. Imagine the immense challenge of crossing deserts, mountains, rocks, roads, ice, snow, and sun baked fields, and in doing so, hiking three thousand miles and more. For days at a time you might be alone. You would be cold, and wet. At times it will rain for days, and yet, at others, when you wish a rain cloud would block out the sun's glare, it will not rain at all. Imagine the slippery, ice and slush, snow covered, rocky trail that you must cross just to find a place to pitch your tent and camp for the night. That, is an image of thru hiking.
In this episode, I interview Pockets, or Krista, of Krista's CDT 2021 Adventure on Facebook, and hear of the challenges, trials, and excitement she experiences while thru hiking the greater than three thousand mile, Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. You will not be disappointed.
