Brian joins Krysta and they hike from Field to Saskatchewan River Crossing following Section D of the Great Divide Trail (GDT) over five days.

This 106 km section of trail had plenty of challenges including over twenty glacial river fordings. Together, they overcame these obstacles, laughing and supporting each other along the way.

The weeks leading up to this section have been very different for each of them: Krysta has already hiked 550km in the last three weeks and Brian has been sitting at a desk submitting assignments for his MBA program. Will Brian be able to keep up? Will Krysta be able to share her chips?

This section also marked the start of their three-week honeymoon, being married in April 2020 at the height of the pandemic. How will the young couple handle 400km on trail together?

Section D is very remote. Few day-hikers journey through this area. In fact, over the next 5 days the couple would see fewer than 10 people. The trails had significant amounts of blow-down (fallen down trees) and some sections had no trail at all forcing Krysta and Brian to bush-whack for several kilometers at a time.

But one thing is certain for these two - the mountains are where they belong.
