Have you ever done something that you thought was way out of your range of capability both physically and mentally and had it change your life? Have you ever spent time completely devoted to bettering yourself as a person? That’s just what happened to me on the CDT…. when I was 14, my family and I (my mom, dad, older sister, two pack donkeys and a dog) set out to trek from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide Trail. It’s 3,000 miles long, took six long grueling months, and went through some of the most beautiful and rugged country in America. (read more of Jessie’s story here)

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment by Congress of the Continental Divide Trail. Buena Vista will be hosting the TrailFest event this coming July. This years event will offer a variety of outdoor adventures as well as live music in McPhelemy park and demos and clinics. Be sure to stay tuned to the ChannelBV calendar for more details.
