The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDNST) is a 4,988km-long trail between the state of Chihuahua, in
northwestern Mexico, and the province of Alberta, Canada. The most difficult part of the trail passes through the
Rocky Mountains range, which stretches through five different US states: Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado and
New Mexico. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest long-distance trails in the world and it is the highest and
most challenging National Scenic Trail in the USA.
The history of the trail began in 1978, when it was established by the government as a National Scenic Trail. It is
named after the Continental Divide of the Americas, a geographical line which divides the land according to
whether rainwater flows west towards the Pacific Ocean or east towards the Atlantic. The trail follows this line,
which means that it naturally passes some of the highest peaks in the Rockies, such as Grays Peak, which is over
4,300m high. Of course, this makes it an extremely tough journey, but that doesn’t stop around 200 people from
attempting to hike the full length of the trail each year; an effort that can take around six months to complete.
For those brave enough to take on the trail, there are a variety of ways to complete it. Günter Wamser and Sonja
Endlweber, from Germany and Austria, completed the trail on horseback over the course of three summers
between 2007 and 2009. In 2007, an American man named Francis Tapon became the first to complete a ‘yo-yo’
hike: backpacking through the entire length of the trail only to turn around and complete it again in the opposite
direction, all in a single journey. Hikers come in all shapes and sizes, too, and not all who complete the trail are as
experienced you might think. In 2013, Reed Gjonnes, from Salem, Oregon, became the youngest person to
complete the entire trail when she hiked it with her father at the age of just 13.
Due to its enormous length, the CDNST crosses different landscapes such as snowy peaks, thick forests and harsh
deserts. Each has its own plant and animal life and a variety of stunning natural features. There are also countless
opportunities for hikers to take part in different activities, such as horseriding, fishing, bird watching, and cross-
country skiing. What’s more, there are dozens of small villages to explore along the way, and tired travellers can
stop to meet the interesting people who live in some of the USA’s most remote regions.
The CDNST is a trail which is best suited to the most determined adventurers. It is certainly not for everyone, but
for those who enjoy a challenge, this trail offers something few other can: the opportunity to explore a range of the
most incredible natural landscapes the Earth has to offer.
