    Thumbs, up to all of you . I am saddened now that it’s over. I really enjoyed this Colorado hiking the four of you did. The views were spectacular. I’m young 68 I used to road race, play racquetball, and I did physical home building, and my knees are shot. I can still mountain bike and road bike. That’s all that’s left of my body. I can walk 4 miles with my Siberian husky, but that’s about it ,what you were doing something I would’ve loved to done but I’m enjoying it through your videos. Taco was incredible to endure that terrain very sketchy areas. Nice added touch with Taco and Joel.
    Best jay

    Evan, I am new to your channel, thanks to Liz, and have decided after watching both of your journeys through this adventure that thru hiking is something I want to pursue. I felt so sentimental at the end of this video! Like I was saying goodbye to a friend. You are a special soul. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for sharing this experience! You and Liz have really inspired me to reach for higher heights (pun intended 😉)!

    I am NOT a hiker but have enjoyed watching you (and Liz) through your AT and CT videos. Good job on the video content. Likewise, congrats on facing and overcoming those personal challenges (hiking with those nasty blisters!). You give this 67 year old inspiration to set goals and to stay in shape. WELL DONE!!!

    Firstly, Congratulations on finishing the Colorado Trail. You said it best, this trail was going to be a physical challenge, which you clearly could see on your face. You hung in there and got it done, for that I salute you. Secondly, I looked forward to every time you posted a video of this trip. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Lastly, take care and God bless Evan.

    I love your videos. They are well done and heart felt. You are so kind to others and such a joy to follow. I'm always dreading when you finish these long hikes as I'm selfish and want more videos. I regret to this day not coming to Savage Gulf to meet you and all of that crew a few years back as I feel I missed meeting someone who is simply a great person. Thanks for sharing your life and travels with us. I wish you well in all your future adventures and thanks again.

    Thanks for the trip, Evan. I love how you manage to make us a part of your trip. I have been to Colorado in the winter, but I think summer looks even better.

Congratulations to you and Liz on your Colorado Trail Thruhike!

    Very enjoyable. As I've said before, I appreciate the realism. I'm a little older than you and plan on a summer 2024 hike of the CT. It is hard, and your videos made that clear. Much better than the videos that make it seem like flat trails, sunny skies and perfect views every day. Enjoy your rest. You earned it

    Evan! Congrats on finishing a hard hike! You know - I often find myself only remembering all the positive things about the CT (the views!!!!). But it truly is hard and challenging. In fact I had so many “ailments” on the CT I started to count them in my journal - and truly had a rough time (including spraining my ankle, falling on my knee, stubbing my toe in my crocs so badly that I lost the nail much later….). But we got lucky with the monsoon season ending shortly after we started. You just never know. Your temps looked positively chilling as well - that’s hard stuff on a thru! Thx for your honesty! But I bet this won’t be your last……. Take care! - Chica

    So great to see you and Liz back on the trail! I did the last 188 of the AT again this past July to Summit Katahdin with a trail brother that I hiked a long way with in 2018. It was physically exhausting and once again, helped me realize how tough any Thru Hike is, especially the AT in Maine! Congratulations on pushing through and overcoming the adversity to successfully complete the CT!!

I go to Ennis Montana about ever year. That Earthquake at quake lake was unreal. Read about it many times. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking. Liz may have called you up and talked you into hiking this trail with her. You may have been a little at first. But you all done it. Congrants to you liz cowboy taco and all the other hikers that made it. If you take short hikes. I know everyone would like for you to show them. Take care

    Thanks for another great series. Your thru hiking days aren’t over. You’ll learn and reboot, like Jardine. I would’ve quit with those blisters and come back when healed. Must’ve been painful from that alone. And plenty of other trails out there with different challenges. Still waiting for you to do the pct and give us all a video series on it. Looking forward to post hike videos .

I think in a past live you and Liz were partners in crime in some form, and how amazing you found each other in this life. Your friendship is goals!

    Thank you Evan for your videos. I really enjoyed them (also LIz's videos). I started the trail 2 weeks prior to you all and had to exit early due to a very unexpected injury so your video's helped me complete my hike without actually being there. I relate to your experience being your age....haha. I also was on the AT the year you hiked but was behind you so never met you but as you and Liz mentioned, the people you meet and experiences you have along the way are just as meaningful and rewarding as the actual hike itself. Best wishes and enjoy home!!
