… The route travels around the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, using two of Colorado’s best known trails, the Colorado Trail (CT) and the Continental Divide Trail (CDT).
The CT is known as the Collegiate East and the CDT is the Collegiate West.
The trail passes by a dozen 14,000-foot summits along the way while traveling through a mix of high forests and alpine terrain. …

The Pacific Northwest Trail resonated with me: rugged, rough, remote. I became somewhat (ok, totally) obsessed with the idea of hiking it. And in 2 weeks I’ll be starting the trail …
The PNT has all the things I love about backpacking: navigation challenges, undeveloped sections, bushwacking and solitude (I have a hiking partner, I won’t go full Castaway on you). The length is perfect for my three month timeframe …

Four young people who didn’t know each other at the start hiked 4 months on the Greater Patagonia Trail in Chile.
Only one had much experience hiking.
They made plenty of mistakes. Carried huge packs. At the start they could only manage about 7km / day.

Despite many, many problems, the documentary turned out to be quite entertaining. I recommend it.

The 1,900-mile-long thru-hike winds through the southern Andes from Santiago to the climbing mecca of Mount Fitzroy. To complete it, adventurers need a lot more than physical stamina.
In late 2017, I contacted explorer and (Swiss) German engineer Jan Dudeck, who was just completing a decade-long quest to create a new long trail through South America. The Greater Patagonian Trail (GPT), as he named it, would come to be 1,900 miles, stretching through the southern Andes from Santiago to the Argentinean climbing mecca of Mount Fitzroy.
“This trail rewards the humble,” Dudeck replied in his e-mail to me, “and humiliates the proud.” …
I set out on my own GPT attempt in the summer of 2017. I quickly learned that Dudeck’s creation bears little resemblance to the famous thru-hikes of the U.S. …
It’s still a very rare occurrence to meet other GPT hikers. …
