The Continental Divide Trail is a hiking route that extends from Mexico to Canada. Stretching 5000 km, the trail is, for 70%, a combination of dedicated paths and small roads, while the remaining 30% is completed with paved sections.
This captivating route crosses five US states: Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. It also forms part of the Triple Crown of Hiking in the United States of America along with the Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail, among which it is also the most challenging and oldest.
It takes about 6 months to complete the entire route and only 200 people have accomplished this feat. The CDT is considered one of the greatest long-distance trails in the world, consisting of a multitude of ecosystems, from Tundra to Desert, hosting a variety of wildlife and preserving nearly two thousand treasures of culture, nature, and history.
Those eager to take on the challenge of completing the Continental Divide Trail must prepare in the months before departure with regular training and hikes.
