We need you to help us Find Our Way on the Continental Divide Trail

The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) became an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization less than a year ago in November 2012. We’re coming together to rally the outdoor community to generate seed funding to protect the current and future state of the CDT. Federal funds for land preservation are slowly being restricted due to sequestration and cuts to federal spending in general. The trail corridor and its preservation is falling through the cracks, and we are facing great capacity difficulties in maintaining what so many have worked so hard to build.  

From 1995 to early 2012, the primary supporter of the Continental Divide Trail was the Continental Divide Trail Alliance (CDTA).  The CDTA ceased operations in January of 2012, leaving a large gap in trail stewardship, advocacy and support.  Passionate trail management professionals and volunteers have made it their mission to continue building and sustaining the CDT through this new organization, the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC).

Why Now?

With your help we are the only ones who can preserve and protect this incredible resource.  We hope to rally a passionate body of supporters, connectors and outdoor enthusiasts to invest in the protection of our precious Continental Divide Trail.  CDTC has launched a campaign to directly support much needed map making, data collection, volunteer trail building and national advocacy efforts.   Please consider contributing, sharing or organizing a small event to help us reach our financial goal as this unique treasure belongs to you, to us and to all the generations to follow.

We Thank you, but most of all the Trail Thank's YOU!
