Description
After hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Tim Voors recounts the second of three Great thru-hikes across America. The Continental Divide Trail (or CDT, as it is known) is the longest trail, at 3100 miles or 5000 km, through any country in the World, renowned for being beautiful yet brutal--an endurance test requiring versatility, flexibility, and adaptability in the face of nature's many whims.
