Continental Divide Trail
The Continental Divide Trail is a footpath running 3,100 miles
(5,000 km) through the United States of America between Mexico and Canada. It
follows the Continental Divide along the Rocky Mountains and traverses five
U.S. states - Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. In Montana
it crosses Triple Divide Peak which separates the Hudson Bay, Atlantic Ocean
and Pacific Ocean drainages.
As of 2004, the trail, a combination of dedicated trails and small roads, is
considered 70% complete. The uncompleted portions of the trail must be traveled
by bushwhacking or roadwalking.
Only about two dozen people a year attempt to hike the entire trail, taking
about six months to complete it.
The Continental Divide Trail along with the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific
Crest Trail form the Triple Crown of long distance hiking
The Continental Divide Trail Alliance is an organization committed to completion and continued care of the Continental Divide trail. The website includes map, descriptions of trail sections, and membership information.
