The Continental Divide Trail (or CDT for short) is one of the US’s National Scenic Trails. It follows a route close to the US Continental Divide, through the Rocky Mountains of Montana/Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico.How long is the CDT? The Divide is over 3000 miles long, but the trail is somewhat shorter. The route I took was somewhere around 2700-2800 miles. Since some parts of the CDT are not complete or officially designated, the length is not easy to pin down. Plus, I hiked a number of alternate routes which added or reduced the total mileage.
