I set out to thruhike the Great Divide Trail (GDT) from Waterton to Mount Robson Visitor Centre on July 21, 2020. The GDT is divided into lettered sections. I am hiking northbound (NOBO) which means I started with section A.

Section A spans from Waterton National Park to Coleman, AB. I completed 104 km of hiking, some of which wasn't on the GDT due to trail closures. It took me 5 days to complete this section completely on my own. I plan to hike sections AC solo. Although there were many tough moments on this first leg of the hike, there were many more amazing moments! I hope you enjoy following along on my journey.
