Carmen submitted to us a Youtube video that he created for his 2024 R2R through hike at the age of 71.

Our review of this video found that a few video segments were out of sequence with the actual trail. Overall though, it still represents a through hike along the trail very well. The only exception is the section of the video where he shows his day hike through the Giant City State Park trails when he took a zero day from the R2R Trail.

Enjoy.

I just posted a short trail story written by Darral Ward on his April 2024 adventure to hike the R2R Trail from Grand Tower to Elizabethtown, IL. Give it a quick read.
