I started westbound from the Mackenzie River trailhead on July 24, 2021 at 5:38 AM and arrived milepost 222 on July 29, 2021 at 10:04 AM. I had been hoping to do the trail under 5 days but in the end weather (and my lack of sufficient gear) slowed me down. I did the trip solo and unsupported, carrying all my food and equipment and only obtained water from natural sources.
In spite of the challenges everything went great! This is a pretty remote trail but if anyone out there wants to give it a go please do reach out, I would be happy to share info.
Thank you to Peter, Buzz and the rest of the team for all your hard work. Thanks to everyone in the FKT community for all the inspiration. Keep posting those adventures!
