Does the Trail currently travel on Private Land?
Since the Trail is not complete, you will have to contend with private land issues. Please respect the traditions and lifestyles of the people living along the Trail by never crossing private lands without permission. In many cases they need the land to survive and are good stewards of the land. Their traditions are embedded into the history of these lands and the character of the Continental Divide Trail. Where private lands block the continuation of the CDT, and you are unable to get permission to cross these lands, utilize other trail or road routes. The 1:100,000 scale land status maps, which can be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey, provide good information on land ownership.
