Since the establishment of a National Defense Area (NDA) in southern New Mexico, the situation at the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) southern terminus is evolving. CDTC will continue to advocate for access to public lands, the preservation of the character of the CDT, and the beneficial outdoor experiences offered throughout southern New Mexico and the Continental Divide.

We encourage anyone with thoughts about these developments to share their concerns with their elected officials and provide information about your experiences below.
