Joanna Mast hikes out of Silver City along Little Walnut Road, which leads to the Continental Divide Trail and the Gila National Forest. Mast, who aims to hike the Continental Divide Trail all the way to the U.S.-Canada border, began her journey at Camp Crazy Cook near the Mexican border April 19.
It’s that time of year again: Solo hikers and groups of backpackers are passing through Silver City on their way north following the 3,100-mile Continental Divide Trail approximately 800 miles of which is in New Mexico.
“The CDT will be my triple crown,” said Joanna Mast, a Denver, Colo., resident who has previously hiked the entire lengths of the Appalachian and Pacific Crest trails. “I’m going the whole way.”

Consumer advocacy groups, environmentalists and the New Mexico attorney general s office are raising concerns about a proposed multibillion-dollar merger of the state s largest electric utility with a U.S. subsidiary of global energy giant Iberdrola.
The groups have filed testimony with state regulators ahead of hearings that begin next month.
It will be up to the Public Regulation Commission to determine if the merger provides meaningful benefits to Public Service Co. of New Mexico customers and if it would be in the public interest.
Some groups say PNM shareholders will benefit from the proposed transaction and that it could end up stifling competition for renewable energy development in New Mexico.
