I said it when you were on the AT and this trek confirms it... you have thru-hiker blood coursing through your veins. Congratulations on completing your journey and doing it with dignity, grit and class. That's what makes you so special and your vlog so compelling to watch. Well done thru-hiker!!

Also I bet in no time you will forget most of the lows and just remember the positives. I think that's what keeps us going back. Glad you finished it!!! Congratulations on being a CT thru hiker!

@lazyextremist3119

My favorite section was between San Luis and Silverton in the San Juans. It's pretty high altitude (many miles at 13k) and remote, but absolutely stunning. It definitely depends on the shape you are in. A more accessible point for fitness, altitude, and traveling is starting from the climb out of Breckenridge/Frisco. It was also very beautiful.

Your vlogs are very well done. Congratulations on such an accomplishment. That trail is definitely on my list of trails to hike. Do you have a suggestion of what would be the best time of year to start? Also, if you had to only do a 100ish mile section, what point to point would you do? If you haven't thought of it, I hope you get to experience the John Muir Trail as well some day. It has a similar beauty to the Colorado Trail, but I don't believe it is quite as open and green. There are some beautiful places, however throughout that hike. Thank you for sharing your journey.
