Continental Divide Trail Coalition

The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is a 501 (c) (3) national non-profit membership organization founded by a group of citizens passionate about the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The coalition has formed a community of supporters and Trail Enthusiasts working to complete and protect the trail.

Established by Congress in 1978, the trail spans 3,100 miles between Mexico and Canada, traverses five states and connects countless communities along its spine. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is much more than just a line on a map: it is a living museum of the American West, a place to reconnect with nature, and a unifying force bringing people of all walks of life together.
