- EPISODE #5 - The diary of our Great Divide Trail (GDT) adventure. This is the 5th of a 7 part series we affectionately are calling the "GREAT DIVIDE TRAIL DIARIES". Follow us from Field B.C. to The Crossings Resort.
It was far harder than expected and more beautiful than imagined.
Dudley (Bruce Watts), Crusher (Chris Abbott) & Mango (Tracy Généreux) - and many new friends - thru-hiked the Great Divide Trail during the summer of 2021. 1100-ish crazy hard and wild kilometres from the Alberta/Montana international border (near Waterton), to Kakwa Provincial Park along the continental divide in the Canadian Rockies. Considered the "Wildest" Thru-Hike in North America - We agree!
Special thanks to Chris Abbott (aka Crusher) and Tracy Généreux (aka Mango) and all our other new friends: Tyson, Arthur, Marylou, Shira, Richard, Glen, Noémie, Fran, Theresa, Paul, Nicole, Isla, Noah, and Munchie (woof woof)

FILMED COMPLETELY on an iPhone 11pro with no gimbals, external microphones, and a tripod was used 3 times (I now regret carrying the tripod for 900 km :) )

We really enjoyed all your aventure and beautiful views
Thanks so much... and much appreciated
Great episode! Lots of beauty - and tough conditions.
It looks like you were probably through Kiwetinok in early-mid July. That route did get some route updates in late July in the last 5km bushwhack portion to avoid the thickest parts, but certainly it's still tough. The rough stuff on the road is mostly further down in the section that is bypassed, whereas that upper 10km is much better. The lower road actually has several portions that are worse/slower than anything on Kiwetinok, including about 1km where you're pretty much on hands and knees. The upside with that section is that it's filled with free gear the willows the pull off peoples packs :) You might have found a trekking pole in there, because we found a ZRest and a waterbottle ;)
Thanks Dan, much appreciated for the kind words (and yes it was mid-July)... MORE IMPORTANTLY... Many thanks to you personally for the trail updates and quality insight. You are certainly "Mr. GDT" .... thanks for all you do for the GDT!
Section D was a bit nightmarish! But we survived and saw great views :) Thanks for the video! Really cool that you captured the collie creek ford. That was something!
Thanks so much Mango!
Famous words at 22:21 as you enter into the Howse River where Parks Canada has decided not to maintain the Howse Pass trail haha. Great video! Glad I can view your experience on the GDT!
You got that right! Thanks so much!
Great video….I’m ready to hit the trail!!
🙏🏻
If I could ask…what 7 day spread camp to camp would you do? I only have 6 nights to do a piece of this trail this summer..and I want to see the best of the Rockies…pretty sure I’m not doing section D lol 😂 Im rolling my ankle just watching! Love your series! Subscribed!
Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s hard to say which section, they are all beautiful in their own way - even section D - but I was most blown away with sections E and A. E has easier access but busier than A. Enjoy!
Another beautiful video. I think you truly capture the essence of this #wildestthruhike. I really look forward to these and pass them on to prospective hikers who ask what to expect! Great Work!
Thanks so much… very high praise and I appreciate you so asking the time to comment.
Great job you three. Equipment issues are inevitable and it looks like you had your share. Really appreciate the detail and amount you filmed. Well put together my friend.
Hey Scott, thanks for the kind words... the vids are a labour of love!
You can tell Dudley, also you actually put me in Section C. TWICE!!! With a title bar nonetheless. Honoured.
@@scottb99 our pleasure.... hike on!
This is really well done 🙌🙌
Much appreciated Jordan
