Canada We first visited Canada when Keith raced the 2025 Tour Divide

We first visited Canada when Keith raced the 2025 Tour Divide. Since then, we have returned to ski with our friends, Chris and Doug, at Red Mountain Resort. We both immediately fell in love with Canada's natural beauty and friendly culture. We can't wait to return and explore more of what Canada has to offer.

Keith is ascending "The Wall", an incredibly steep hike-a-bike section, before crossing back into the USA. 🇺🇸

2025 Tour Divide: Racing (Day 3) - Butts Cabin, British Columbia 🇨🇦 to Birch Creek Recreation Area, Montana 🇺🇸

Today is an exciting day... I cross back into the USA 🇺🇸!!! This is a huge milestone toward completion of the 2025 Tour Divide. But first, I must conquer "The Wall" and avoid a large mountain lion. 😱

I survived day 1, but now I am faced with the first major challenge of the race: the Koko Claims hike-a-bike section. 😨 I also pass through the town of Fernie, BC, 🌯 as I make my way to Butts Cabin for the night. 🛖

2025 Tour Divide: Racing (Day 1) - Banff, Alberta 🇨🇦 to Koko Claims, British Columbia 🇨🇦

Day 1 of the 2025 Tour Divide was everything that I hoped it would be. It was challenging and rewarding in every sense. I still can't believe that I am actually starting this race! 🤯
