CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL

CDT Day 9: Into Silver City

ByPurple Haze Posted onMay 9, 2015September 21, 2025

Daily Miles: 7.1, Total Miles: 143.2

I road walked the rest of the way into Silver City. I’m staying at the Murray Hotel, an Art Deco style hotel in the historic district (hiker discount!). This location is very convenient to the PO, laundry, and the Little Toad Brewery, not necessarily in that order.

Silver City has a nice vibe to it. I splurged and had dinner at the Curious Kumquat, serving foraged and locally sourced dinners. Wow, what a meal! When I thought I was done, the owner chef came out, confirmed I was on the trail, gave me an extra dish and a paired homemade wheat rye ale.

I didn’t see or find any hikers today – usually not hard to miss. I mean I had my shirt on inside out most of the day without noticing.
