Planning a CDT trip is a big undertaking.
We've made the first step simple.
The Continental Divide Trail is the most remote and rugged of the Triple Crown trails, winding 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada across New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Planning a trip on the Divide means thinking through navigation, snow, water, resupply, and route choices long before you reach the trailhead.
The CDT Planning Guide, produced by the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, pulls the essentials into one clear, approachable resource—so you can spend less time hunting for answers and more time getting ready for the trail ahead.
