Day 147 – 9/16/13 – 19.4 mi (2691.3)

We finished!!!

And it just wouldn’t be a CDT finish without getting rained on! But in between rain showers, we got a beautiful view of Waterton Lake, and fit in a photo shoot at the border.

We crowned Ninja and Sweetfish “ultimate grand surpreme hikers”, awarding them their triple crowns for having hiked all of the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and now Continental Divide trails.

We are spending the night in Waterton, Canada, thanks to a hotel room compliments of Burly’s mom (thank you!) Tomorrow we have arrangements to get back to East Glacier where we plan to hang out and play tourist for a few days before attending a BBQ hosted by the Montana Wilderness Association.

Thanks to all who have followed my blog. While at times it’s been a chore, I’m glad to have done it and knowing others are reading has kept me motivated. My sincere appreciation to all for your support, in any and all forms, throughout the trail. Your encouragement, thoughtfulness, and generosity has been overwhelming. Thank you.

Stay tuned for a couple post trail updates and some multimedia!
