Labor of Love on the Continental Divide Trail
Supported by:
Trail Stewardship on One of America’s Triple Crown Trails
Stretching 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada, the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) connects communities, ecosystems, and cultures across the American West.
The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC)—the stewards of this National Scenic Trail—works year-round to maintain, protect, and complete the CDT for future generations.
This year, onX’s Adventure Forever Grant, in partnership with Toyota, helped fund four volunteer trailwork projects along the CDT—from North Fork, Idaho, to Silver City, New Mexico. Each project improved the hiking experience for both thru-hikers and local communities. While every volunteer brought their own story and motivation, all were united by a shared love of place.
