The Continental Divide Trail is easily one of the most ambitious thru-hikes in the country. The route stretches 3,100 miles from the southern border with Mexico through five states to the Canadian border in Montana’s Glacier National Park. It traverses some of the most rugged terrain in the country, with its high point on Colorado’s 14,270-foot Gray’s Peak. On average, only about 150 people finish the route end-to-end each year, and it usually takes about five months.
