Hi! My name is Britt (aka Cloud on trail). I am a former 6th grade teacher and current ski instructor and seeing where life takes me (er). I am thru-hiking the Continental Divide trail with my partner which is my grandest adventure yet! My other thru-hiking adventures include the John Muir Trail (2022), the Wonderland Trail (2023), and the GR54, Alta Via 1 and Tour du Mont Blanc (2024). I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to hike this (very!) long trail and excited to experience what the trail has to offer.
