The Continental Divide Trail (CDT) runs along the Rocky Mountains, over 3,100 miles, from Canada to Mexico, and is managed in part by the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC). On one side of the trail, water drains west towards the Pacific Ocean, and on the other side, east towards the Atlantic. It is one of the three treks that make up the “Triple Crown” of long distance trails within the Continental United States. The CDT encounters many various ecosystems from tundra to desert, is home to numerous species of wildlife, and preserves nearly two thousand natural, cultural, and historical treasures. The trail is a “living museum of the American West” that brings people from all walks of life together, and we at HIKE for Mental Health are glad that it brought you to register your fundraising hike.
