In 2021, my wife Legs and I (Darwin) along with our good friend Machine, hiked from Mexico to Canada via the Continental Divide Trail. We hiked just over 2600 miles all said and done, and Machine and I finished our Triple Crown of hiking. That is completing the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail.
Thru Hiking and long distance hiking are some of the best things a human being can do to challenge both their minds and bodies. You also meet amazing and wonderful people out there on the trail while you are living the Trail Life and trying not to become too much of a piece of Hiker Trash.
Learn the lingo! Trail magic, trail angels, zeros, neros, ultralight, and so much more! You are one inspiring video away from quitting your job and thru hiking.
And besides the soul crushing exhaustion both physically and mentally, it's really just a walk in the park after a fashion.
This video is not 'perfectly' in chronological order, though it follows the hike from the beginning to the end until the 'climax' of the song. There may be a few clips that got switched around, but New Mexico leads into Colorado, which leads into Wyoming, which finally leads into Montana.
