Continental Divide Trail |
|
|
|
A walking route that traverses the length of the US Rockies from Mexico to Canada for around 2,500 miles |
||
|
The CDT crosses through the US states of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. We hiked about 300 miles in 2004 along the CDT in Colorado, south from the Wyoming/Colorado border. In 2009 we hiked the remainder- starting on the Mexico border we hiked New Mexico then Colorado. We then drove to the Canadian border and hiked back south through Montana and Wyoming. |
