Continental Divide Trail (2026): Day 36

Day 36 of my 2026 thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail. CDT mile 623.4-640.6. More sandstone desert today. Added to the fun is a steep climb up a mesa. Unlike the calm afternoon storms of yesterday, today's version is more intense. Despite this, I make it into Cuba, NM with time to tackle my town chores. 17.2 miles.
