A Celebration of the Continental Divide Trail

Throughout September leading up to National Public Lands Day on September 26, CDTC is teaming up for trails, and to celebrate all pathways for sharing in our public lands. This month, join us in celebration of the CDT, the National Trails System, and the public lands where we recreate together. Public lands offer shared spaces for enjoyment and preserve the wild and natural places that give health and sustenance to our communities and are treasured throughout our nation.

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) is one of 11 National Scenic Trails, but one of countless pathways for people to enjoy outdoor spaces and our public lands. Celebrate with us at one of several REI store events!
