Land Acknowledgement

CDTC staff and Board asks all trail visitors to join us in acknowledging the lands on which the CDT traverses across its entire 3,100 miles are the homelands of Indigenous and Native People and Tribal Nations. These traditional stewards of these lands have called these places home for millennia, and still call them home today. Many were persecuted or killed through genocide and were removed from these homelands. In all of our work, we honor these people, past, present and future, who continue to live, hold sacred, and steward all of the landscapes across which the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses.
