Continental Divide Trail 2009

The Continental Divide Trail (or CDT for short) is a wonderful connection of trails following near to the crest of the rocky mountains between the US Mexican and Canadian borders. Our route with some variations to the official trail was over 2,500 miles in total.

Our blog post are below. Also see here for details and maps of a 350 mile variation of the CDT we called the Big Sky route between Yellowstone National Park and near Butte Montana.
