ADK-GVC will present a lecture by Jennifer Hanson titled Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman's Journey as the main program of their Chapter Meeting.

Local hiker and author, Jennifer Hanson, will share the tale of her 2,400-mile six-month back-packing trip from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). Using excerpts from her book, Hiking the Continental Divide Trail: One Woman's Journey, and a slideshow of dozens of photographs, Jennifer will share the challenges and thrills of long-distance hiking. The journey included trekking through arid ranchland, desert forests and Indian reservations in New Mexico; the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area and Glacier National Park in Montana; the remote and rugged Bitterroot Range of Idaho/Montana; the Wind River Range and Teton National Forest in Wyoming and hundreds of miles snowshoeing through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Jennifer's book and presentation will also discuss the planning and preparation required for such an endeavor including map lists, a detailed itinerary with re-supply points, equipment, and food lists, and a suggested preparation time-line.
