7 Reasons hiking Colorado’s San Juans can be challenging | Continental Divide Trail 2024 - Chapter 9
As I hiked the SAN Juan mountains on the CDT, I came up against a few challenges which this video outlines. Watch until the end to see if the challenges were too much or not.

Yes they were tough but my favourite section so far.
Wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous views. You were smart for stopping in Silverton, regardless of the weather, that’s a great town to visit. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Really great coverage of the trail, I love your videos. Great job covering some difficult terrain. Out of curiosity, did you bring micro spikes or other traction for the snowy slopes and (either way) do you think it's worth the weight to bring given what you've encountered so far, or just make do with kick steps and stepping carefully?

Yes. I had both microspikes and ice axe but only occasionally used them. ice axe was more useful as the snow was often soft or well kicked in so microspikes were not that helpful.
I'm assuming you stayed at the shady lady saloon!!?

Have a GPS app. Meanwhile, I thought you would be more concerned about the bear I saw 500m from where I camped! 😆

@@uptothehills2053 that WAS horrifying, I was trying to pretend that it hadn’t happened. Did you walk in the same direction that it went? 😳😬
Cute marmots? 😂
