Along the way, we saw incredible wildlife, crossed into central Colorado, and hit the halfway mark at 1,500 miles. | Thruhikers | Facebook

This was moments before I reached the Continental Divide while hiking the Inca Trail in the Andes Mountains a couple weeks ago, we were greeted by an hour long storm of ice pellets as soon as we crossed to the Atlantic side! In the distance of this video is Dead Woman's Pass; this was our second and more physically demanding day of the hike to Machu Picchu. | Kait Parker
