How the Appalachian Trail helped me tackle my next long-trail goal, the 485-mile Colorado Trail. See what challenges were similar, what caught me off-guard, and what new limits I pushed myself to on my most recent journey.

Tips on how to minimize and manage injuries on a thru-hike, and how to stay motivated even when those injuries may force you off-trail for a while.
