Continental Divide Trail (2026): Day 53

Day 53 of my 2026 thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. CDT mile 882.0-897.3. Despite the weather forecast of major afternoon thunderstorms, the morning was clear and sunny. Just when I think I have gotten lucky with the storms, a large, lengthy storm hits. This time I set up my tent for protection. 15.3 miles.
