https://greatdividetrail.com/ Location - Canadian Rockies, 1200km from Kakwa lake to the US Border. Completed in 20 days 7 hrs ~57km per day. The trail is very remote crossing only 8 roads total, resupplies were max 6 days (260km), min 2 days. Trail style is cross country/no trail/unmaintained in a lot of places, then "busy" National Park trails in others. Weather: Very dry! Only had a few showers the whole time. Was hotter as it went on. Very buggy at the beginning, easing off as I went south.

Style - Supported - 6 resupplies, Hiked about 860km solo, 290km with others. Longest food carry was 6.5days, average was 3 days.
