After spending much of my childhood walking the Continental Divide Trail near Grand Lake and achieving my dream of thru-hiking the CDT in 2024, I’ve grown deeply passionate about protecting, preserving, and enhancing this incredible trail for future generations. I believe we all have a responsibility to safeguard the places we know are important, and the CDT holds that significance for all who have the opportunity to spend time on the trail. Your support helps ensure this iconic and diverse trail remains accessible and thriving for years to come!

The work to complete, protect, and elevate the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is a community effort, and every donation protects the trail for the next generation. During our 2024 CDT Community Fundraiser, we are asking YOU to be a part of this wonderful and whacky CDT community by making a donation of any amount. Every gift, big or small, makes an impact on the trail we all love.
