The Adventures of Trail 22

In 2002, Carson Baughman developed a plan to hike from Utah to his home in Ely; a 60 mile journey across the Eastern Nevada wilds. He would make the four day journey alone.

For one reason or another, his first solo attempt in 2003 was unsuccessful.

Determined to make the beautiful journey, he tried again the same summer. This time, he teamed with a friend. Paul Bath was the man for the job.

The two set out following the same path, and successfully completed the trek in three and a half days. They called their route Trail 22.

Invigorated by this trip, the two, along with fellow adventurer Owen Baughman (that's Me!), soon began to dream of crossing the great state of Nevada in a series of legs.

These are their stories.
