Anna "Blaze" M
I'm Blaze! This year I'm linking back to my 2024 SOBO Continental Divide Trail miles in northern Wyoming, starting NOBO. Maybe some repeat Montana miles in there too, who knows! I have over 4,000 miles of backpacking experience—thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2023, and the Uinta Highline Trail in 2022, with a 790 mile section of the PCT in 2019 as well.
