Share Your CDT Story
The Continental Divide Trail connects landscapes, communities, and people across 3,100 miles of the American West. But beyond the miles and the mountains, the CDT is shaped by the people who walk it, ride it, protect it, and call it home. We want to hear from you.
Whether you’re a thru-hiker, a day hiker, a trail volunteer, a Gateway Community resident, or someone who supports the CDT from afar — your experience matters, and your voice helps us tell the full story of the Divide.
Your Voice. Your Experience.
Your stories are one of the most powerful ways we can share what the Continental Divide Trail means to real people. Submissions may be featured in our social media posts, blog articles, Passages Magazine, and other communications. Sometimes your submission will speak for itself. Other times, we may reach out for a short follow-up conversation or interview to help bring your story to life in a longer format. Either way, we are committed to honoring your voice and perspective. We may lightly edit submissions for length, formatting, or clarity, but we will never alter the core meaning or spirit of your words.
