2016 Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hike

Welcome to the first page of Dragon’s Continental Divide Trail 2016 NOBO thru hike story. I have compiled some materials here that I used to plan my thru-hike.

I’ve also included the most striking photos from the hike down below, all of which I took along the way, meandering through the Rocky Mountains towards the Canadian border. I know when I decided to do this hike, it was because of similarly uncommonly beautiful photos that really pushed me to take on this massive walk.

The GPX tracks that I recorded on my phone while walking the trail, which are free and available to you if you would like them. You can contact me through the contact page of this site.

Here, you can download the gpx tracks that I took every day during the thru-hike. Altogether, they combine to make the line shown above. I generally followed the guidance of the Guthooks CDT mobile app to navigate the trail without issues.

Sage advice.
The very first steps of the thru-hike, on the Mexican border in the southern boot heel of New Mexico.

Below are some of my favorite pictures I captured along the way, in no particular order.
