This journal was originally hosted on Trailplace.com originally hosted by Dan "Wingfoot" Bruce. The current site is now a bit different than the original site.
My Appalachian Trail journal was not the first online hiking journal, but I would not be surprised if it was one the first fifty (or less) hiking journals to be published online. Ten years after completing my AT hike, online hiking journals are much more common.

Here is my 2002 journal of my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike. Was four years since I took a long walk on the Appalachian Trail, so the theme of this hike was "Another Long Walk"
And a long walk it was. From desert to alpine, from sea level to over 14000 feet it was a journey that I will not forget. The Pacific Crest Trail was just not 2700 miles of hiking, it was 2700 miles of unforgettable memories.

My original plan in 2004 was to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). However it just did not “feel right”.
So I did the Colorado Trail instead.
Walking the length of the Colorado Trail was a great way to see my adopted home state. It was not just a “consolation prize” for not doing the CDT, but a wonderful wilderness pilgrimage in its own right.
The mileage of the Colorado Trail is a “best guess”. Even the official route is debatable. Coup, the owner of GoLite, thinks the Colorado Trail is closer to 500 miles in length vs. the 468 officially reported in 2004. As I took two longer alternate routes, my total mileage may have exceeded the 480 that I estimated.
No matter. It was a beautiful trail; full of much wonder and delight. Every mile was a experience. Every mile had something new and wonderful.
This Colorado Trail journal may hopefully share some of the wonderful I felt as I walked through my adopted home state. |
