Congratulations to These 2024 CDT Thru-Hike Finishers: Part 4

The Continental Divide Trail stands as one of the most challenging, remote, and rewarding thru-hikes in North America, spanning roughly 3,100 miles from the Mexico-New Mexico border to the Canadian-Montana border. This trail traverses the Rocky Mountains as it winds across the Continental Divide and greets hikers with vast deserts, alpine tundra, and mighty forests. The terrain may be tough, but the thru-hikers braving this trail are even tougher. 

Completing a CDT thru-hike is a monumental achievement, demanding unparalleled physical and mental endurance as hikers face dangerous weather, high elevation, unpredictable wildlife, long resupplies, scarce water, and intense elevation gains. We are truly thrilled to celebrate the tough-as-nails CDT Class of 2024.
