About the Continental Divide Trail
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) is unofficially considered to be one of the "triple-crown" thru-hikes within the United States, along with the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. Officially, it's listed as one of the 11 National Scenic Trails within the US, which means that it's well-maintained, and offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the United States. It starts at the Southern Terminus (Crazy Cook Monument, on the US-Mexico border), then goes 3100 miles across the Continental Divide of North America, and ends at the Northern Terminus (Waterton Lake, in Alberta, Canada). It's unofficially continued in Canada as the Great Divide Trail. The CDT takes you through very diverse landscapes, starting at a dry and hot climate, then climbing up to alpine mountainous regions, and finally ending at colder northern forests.
