Summary

Growing up within reach of the White Mountains, Dave Moore was exposed to the world of hiking and backpacking from a young age, and eventually went on to complete the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail! But not only is he a Triple Crowner, he has hiked many other smaller trails as well! For this episode, we focus mostly on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) as I pick Dave's brain about some of the challenges that thru-hikers face on the CDT that they may not encounter on the PCT or the AT.

0:00.0	What's going on everybody. Welcome to another episode of Trail Tales. I'm so excited episode number 34. If you're new here, my name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a through hiker. I am a peakbacker. I really just love to walk up and down mountains through valleys and forests getting sweaty, especially this time of year. It's July now, and even in
0:38.7	Vermont, believe it or not, gets pretty damn hot and humid. If you are somebody who likes to do
0:43.9	those things too, and you like to hear from other people who have crazy experiences and new
0:49.5	information to share on some trails that you may or may not have heard of before.

1:35.9	chunk of this episode talking specifically about the CDT, that is the Continental Divide Trail,
1:43.4	the least known of the Triple Crown Hikes.
1:46.5	I'm thinking about doing it.

1:53.5	It's just one of those episodes.
1:55.1	You're going to learn a lot about it.
1:56.7	And even if you already know about it, it's always good to hear another perspective as well.
