Welcome to part THREE of my Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hike Series. This video starts out about 160 miles into the CDT (in Silver City, New Mexico) entering the Gila National Forest, home to the Gila River. The Gila proves to be quite the adventure and navigational challenge, but it’s not the hardest thing the CDT throws at us in this stretch. Watch to see some close up encounters with wild fires and some of the best (and worst) water sources on the Continental Divide Trail.

I have thought about going back in a raft! haha some sections might be tough but I guess you could portage if needed.

Great video! Because you asked, Cibola is pronounced "See-Bah-Lah". We are just section hikers, weekend warriors, and live here in NM. Love love love the Gila, it is magical.

Ah thank you!! What a great place to live for access to some beautiful country! I wish I had this comment before I just made my alternate video, but next time I talk about Cibola I’ll get it right, thanks :)

@@eliseott Yeah, unfortunately, the CDT doesn't go thru the forests and mountains much, there are some fabulous hikes that you totally missed. But.. that's part of the CDT journey - desert and more desert.

@@RobinT-treehugger I can imagine! Feels like especially in the first half it’s lots of cow pastures, but I’d love to visit and do some different things in New Mexico.

The Gila looks amazing. I never knew there were so many crossings of the Gila. I have always wanted to hike there. What cameras do you use for your hiking VLOGS? Awesome series.

it's SOOOOO amazing. And yes it's quite a wet adventure but so worth it. You can also take the high route if you want to avoid that. It's the DJI osmo pocket!

Aquafor is a lifesaver on trips like these- put it on before you get in your bag and it really helps with just- everything.
