Join Ritchie residents Dan and Lisa as they share their adventures and lessons learned while hiking long distance trails, including the Pacific Crest Trail @ 4,192 km and Great Divide Trail @ 1,528 km.
Presenters: Daniel Tyrkalo and Lisa Howatt
Trail Lovers, Cliff Bar Haters and Long-Distance Hikers
Together they’ve experienced everything from rattlesnakes and monumental blisters on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017 to never-ending rain and non-existent paths on the Great Divide Trail in 2019. Undetered, they are planning to hike the Continental Divide Trail, all 4,988 km, in the near future.
This talk promises a candid discussion of the highs and lows of trail life.
They’ll finish the evening with an overview of practical considerations for getting out there yourself, whether your goal is a weekend in the Rockies or something a little longer. Topics covered include:
What gear to take, what to leave at home, and how to pack it
What to eat while on a hiking trip
Best practices for Leave No Trace
