New Mexico Overlanders

[Kent R]

Are you backpacking the CDT through Silver City in early August? Seems early in Silver City for SOBO through hiking? Section hiking would be nice, but still on the hot side in early August.

We are going south to north with jeeps on the CDT. We did it two years ago and will be taking a new group this time.

I’m interested in the route, having backpacked the CDT in 2021 with my son. Most of it is a hiking and horse trail. Curious how much you can piece together for an overlanding trail. Definitely quite a few beautiful spots where forest road crosses or follows along the trail.

It runs about 50 miles on either side of the CDT hiking trail, aprox 2300 miles off road. If you want the track it is on OB1 and if you message me @Kent R with your email address I can send you the GPX

Can you please give me details on how long you have planned for this to take as an overload adventure? Have you broken the duration down by state?

 

[Kent R]

in 2021 it took us 16 days from NM / Mex boarder to MT / Can boarder. This time our group is a little more deversified so I am scheduling 21 days on the trail.
The track is continuous not broken down. There are over 250 camp locations plus the ones we picked, they are all on the GPX

Thanks for the thread reference and the GPX.

Having taken 6 months to hike it, it blows my mind that you Overlanded it in 16 days!

Ok this is on my list next year once I get the dedicated rig to go with the trailer I’ve got.

I will be updating the track after August and will post it once again.

Continental Divide and Colorado BDR

Continental Divide and Colorado BDR Last May, I drove the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route with three others, one Jeep and two motorcycles. Bill, Patrick, and John were great to travel with and we had an awesome trip. So, this year when they said they wanted to do the Colorado BDR, I was...

Welcome, I’m based in Angel Fire. Not much camping this time of year around here locally, but we’ve got some great camping in the summer.
