The Continental Divide Trail has been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Colorado Rockies and now living in Montana, I’ve lived along the CDT most of my life, and it’s shaped my love for wild places, big views, and the sense of peace that only the mountains can bring. Working for the Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) has given me the opportunity to help protect this incredible landscape and watershed so that future generations — including Wade’s — have the same opportunity for exploration and livlihood that I was lucky to inherit.

This holiday season, I’m hoping to raise $500 to support CDTC’s work preserving and caring for the CDT. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ensure that this special place continues to connect people, communities, and the land for years to come.

Thank you so much for helping me give back to the CDT!

The Continental Divide Trail Coalition is dedicated to completing and protecting the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail while engaging in and inspiring stewardship of the trail and its surrounding landscapes.

Your gift helps keep the CDT protected, wild, and connected — for trail enthusiasts, wildlife, and the next generation of people who live in and love the Continental Divide landscapes.
