May #conservationlands15 Social Media Takeover: Add the Continental Divide Trail - the “King of Trails” - to Your Bucket List The Continental Divide Trail is much more than just a line on a map: it is a living museum of the American West, a place to reconnect with nature, and a unifying force bringing people of all walks of life together. -CDT Coalition The Continental Divide Trail is a unique and challenging hiking experience. Hiking the trail will take you through low valleys and high peaks, across several ecosystems and historical treasures. The entire corridor runs approximately 3,100 miles from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. The BLM Oregon Salmon Field Office manages several segments of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, with expansive views into the Lemhi Valley to the west and the Big Hole Valley to the east. A unique feature of this section of the trail is its intersection with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail at Lemhi Pass and the Lewis and Clark Back Country Byway and Adventure Road in Idaho. The mountains, evergreen forests, high desert canyons, and grassy foothills look much the same today as when the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through in 1805. In west-central New Mexico, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail travels through the Chain of Craters Wilderness Study Area. Here, a line of more than 25 volcanic cinder cones exist where, long ago, magma found a weak spot in the Earth’s crust. At the lower elevations, you can place your tent among ponderosa pines whispering in the breeze. |
