Doug Walsh is a former Colorado Outward Bound Instructor with years of backcountry experience. He has climbed the highest 100 peaks in Colorado and most of these hikes have been accomplished on a diet of 100% raw foods. He also hiked the 2650-mile Pacific Crest Trail in 4 ½ months in the summer of 2001 on raw foods. Doug has been a vegan since 1988 and a raw foods vegan since 1996.

Doug’s just started his newest adventure… a 3000 mile (that’s over 6000km!) fundraising hike to raise awareness about raw foods on the Continental Divide Trail (or CDT). From Doug:

“The CDT is a 3000-mile trail that travels across the backbone of the continent from Mexico to Canada along the crest of the Rockies. This trail traverses the desert in New Mexico and Wyoming with long waterless stretches and 100 degree F temperatures. The 800-mile section in Colorado averages over 11,000 feet in elevation with snow, sub-freezing temperatures, and lightning dangers. I'll start at the Mexican border in New Mexico on April 22, 2005 (Earth Day) and finish 5 months later at the Canadian border in Montana. Along the way, I'll average around a marathon a day as I hike the trail to Canada before the snow flies in the fall.”

So… Is anyone asking Doug where he get’s HIS protein?
