Island Park to Lima

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 1

Just 70 miles since our last write-up, but we covered it in good time (two and a half days) and it was really enjoyable hiking! Coming back from West Yellowstone on Tuesday lunchtime, the positive effects of a massage on my leg saw me all the way up a 3000 … Read More

Lima to Leadore – ups and downs

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 0

And so to the PUDs – the so-called Pointless Ups and Downs of the Montana-Idaho border. Except they’re not pointless. Well, no more so than any other part of the trail anyway – and you could argue that hiking for the best part of six months is a pretty pointless … Read More

Leadore to Darby

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 5

Oof, that was hard going! Two big obstacles since we left Leadore – a closed section of trail due to a wildfire, requiring a long detour, then just when we were really happy to be back on trail, the weather decided to go all dramatic on us! We had known … Read More

Darby to Anaconda

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 3

With 450 miles still to go to the Canadian border, it’s starting to feel like autumn is really setting in! Is this just a cold snap, soon to be followed by an Indian summer (as one lady told us) or will winter be following on shortly after, making for some … Read More

Anaconda to Augusta

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 2

Just one more resupply to go before we reach the Canadian border, now that we’re in Augusta! We’ve hiked about 200 miles since we left Anaconda, and we have about 240 to go. The end of the trail feels close, but with two wildfire re-routes still to negotiate our way … Read More

Augusta to East Glacier – the Bob

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 2

We’ve spent the last five days hiking through the Bob Marshall Wilderness, a 136 mile stretch of trail with a reputation to live up to! We had heard a lot about it from other hikers, and opinion seemed to be divided as to whether it was wonderful hiking or a … Read More

East Glacier to Chief Mountain

by Tanya Savage | posted in: Continental Divide Trail, Idaho - Montana | 8

We’ve done it! 5 months and 4 days after leaving the Mexican border and having hiked about 2700 miles, we finally reached the Canadian border yesterday morning. As with any long hike, finishing the Continental Divide Trail brought with it a real mixture of emotions – relief, happiness, sadness that … Read More
