What's it like to hike the CDT?

I'll let you know.

In the meantime, I highly recommend the following...

Videos

The Walkumentary by Lawton "Disco" Grinter
The first CDT movie I saw. I watched it at the Saufley's Hiker Heaven in Agua Dulce, CA. This well-edited video hooked me on the CDT. Features a hilarious hiker called Maddy (sp?).
