100 Miles left to Canada

With days that seem impossibly long and weeks that pass in a short moment, my Continental Divide Trail thru-hike (and triple crown) is just about 100 miles from the end!

Glacier National Park will be an epic finish to a trail that can only be described as one hell of a challenging and beautiful experience.

Kirk is meeting me at the Canadian border with our packrafts where we will take a leisurely few weeks to road trip back to Bend and hopefully find a few rivers to float.

Any suggestions in Idaho/Montana/Wyoming? I know water levels are quite low in many areas...

Mostly I'm looking forward to not walking for a while, but might as well get on the water if we have a chance!!

Thanks to all who have followed along, my last few blog posts will be here (www.sherahikes.wordpress.com), and we look forward to getting back in the boats to bring you more adventures with packrafts!

One State Down on the Continental Divide Trail

Well, New Mexico is done! I'm currently about 800 miles into my CDT thru-hike and am playing hopscotch with the heavy snow levels still hanging on to the Southern San Juan peaks However the ever industrious Kirk made me some shoe-ski bindings and I've successfully been able to ski some of the divide. I'll be headed back up to the snow soon for another session, but sucessive 80 degree days may let me send the skis home soon. This is a hike, not a ski tour, but what a way to travel across the backbone of the US!

Continental Divide Trail 2015

I've been writing more on my other blog lately...this winter I'm preparing for a northbound thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. This hike will complete my triple crown of long distance trails in the U.S. and, more importantly, give me the chance to disappear into the wilderness for about 5 months. Can't wait!

I hope to do a lot of boating this winter, but many of my trips will be on two feet...like last weekend in the Ochoco Mountains near Bend:

Check in at www.sherahikes.wordpress.com throughout the winter if you are interested in the hike, and follow me when I start from the Mexican border mid-April and start hiking to Canada!
