Description

The Triple Crown of long-distance hiking in the USA is comprised of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and Appalachian Trail (AT). The CDT is the longest of the three.

The CDT was designated as a National Scenic Trail in 1978. It closely follows the United States Continental Divide, which separates the Atlantic and Pacific Watersheds. It starts on the Mexican border in New Mexico, traverses New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, and ends on the Canadian border in Montana. The trail can be hiked South to North or North to South.

Description

Zeit ist bekanntlich Geld und ebenso ein knappes gut wie das Zahlungsmittel. Aus diesem Grunde ist der Wasserwanderweg die ideale Option für den schnellen Sprint am Nachmittag. Knapp 3km im Aufstieg sind es, die es zu bewältigen gibt. Aber Vorsicht, was nach einer Kleinkindergerechten Tour klingt hat es in sich. Nicht weniger als 240hm sind es die es zu bewältigen gilt und das alles auch noch über Stiegen, Brücken und Bachquerrungen.

 

Wasserwanderweg

3 km mit 239 hm im Aufstieg.

"People are drawn to these routes, because they're super aesthetic, iconic lines. But are they over their head?"
