Trauma 2006 Trip Info
ECT, PCT, and CDT Journey 2006

This year starting November 1, 2005, I am planning to hike for a full year (through the winter). I am trying to walk across the U.S., longitudanally, three times incorporating the three major hiking trails, but I will be extending it a little bit too, just because I like Canada so much. I will start from Cap Gaspe, Quebec, Canada to Key West, Florida following the Eastern Continental Trail (which is the International Appalachian Trail, Appalachian Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail, Georgia Pinhote Trail, Alabama Pinhote Trail, Alabama Trail, Florida Trail, and a bit of road walking). Then I will drive over to the Pacific Crest Trail and thru-hike that northbound from the California/Mexico border to the Washington/Canada border. After that I will drive to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada and southbound the Continental Divide Trail, back to the Mexican border. I am excited. It should be fun and challenging hiking through the winter and seeing everything in different seasons. Yoni loves the cold weather too!




Here is a map of this trip. The brown is the additions to the Appalachian Trail, that make it the Eastern Continental Trail.
