The regular GDT route of 106 km from Field to Saskatchewan River Crossing. This section proves to be the most overgrown with the most challenging river fords in the Howse Floodplain.

Krysta continues solo on the GDT. This section is arguably the most beautiful and most popular section of the entire trail.

Krysta hikes 194 km alone from Coleman to Kananaskis. She takes the High Rock Alternate out of Coleman. During this section she starts to settle into the groove of thru-hiking as her body adapts to the long days.

Krysta starts the Great Divide Trail by hiking the southernmost 104 km section of trail. She starts alone and faces many challenges and many incredible moments.
