Continental Divide Trail (2026): Day 39

Day 39 of my 2026 thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. CDT mile 682.3-703.6. That mesa I struggled to climb yesterday? I start the day losing all that elevation again as I head down to the Rio Chama. Then, I head straight up another mesa before heading back down to US highway 84 and the exit for Abiquiu. 21.3 miles.
