Expert Hiker to Backpack 3000 Miles Eating Only Raw FoodsBoulder, CO – February 18, 2005 -- expert hiker Doug Walsh will backpack the challenging Continental Divide Trail (CDT) powered by a 100% plant-based raw foods diet. The hike begins on Earth Day, April 22, 2005 at the Mexican border in New Mexico and ends five months later at the Canadian border in Glacier National Park. Doug, an experienced backpacker and former Outward Bound instructor, has already climbed the 100 highest peaks in Colorado.

Since parts of the trail are not complete, he will frequently navigate by map and compass to stay on track, and may endure weather fluctuations from 100 degrees in the high desert to below freezing at high altitudes. He’ll experience thunderstorms, lightning danger, snowshoe weather, difficult river crossings, and a scarcity of water on parts of the trail. He may encounter rattlesnakes, scorpions and even grizzly bears. He will be traveling with a minimum of gear at a marathon pace of at least 25 miles a day.
