Steve, Olivia, and Chit Chat join Sloggy for the final special CDT episode, sharing stories from the last 450 miles of their journey: remote terrain, difficult route choices, unpredictable weather, Glacier National Park permit chaos, and the race to finish before winter arrived.
They discuss how the CDT compares with the AT and PCT, why alternate routes can make the trail both more exciting and more complicated, and how preparation, stretching, and the right shoes helped them finish feeling stronger than they had after previous long-distance hikes.
The conversation also explores what it means to complete the Triple Crown, the challenges of returning to everyday life after months on the trail, and what adventures may come next.
Join us for a memorable finale filled with wilderness, perseverance, laughter, and hard-earned perspective from one of North America’s greatest long-distance trails.
