Congratulations to These 2024 Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hikers
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.

All of these hikers went up against difficult odds — and some of America’s wildest wilderness — and came out the other side stronger for it. A massive, heartfelt congratulations to them.
If you finished the CDT this year, don’t forget to submit your own finishing photo to be celebrated in the next part of this series!

Hiking these trails aren’t cool anymore…everyone and their Mom has done it and we’re giving thru hikers a bad name. Stop writing about it and just do it with no expectation of attention over exploitation. Jesus.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating people’s accomplishments. How is saying “congrats” exploitative? No one through hikes because they desperately want to make it into the trek’s finisher roundup, it’s a personal journey and a kind thing for the trek to do.
Why do you read articles from a through hiking website if you don’t want people writing about through hiking?
Go be miserable somewhere else
I actually hiked this trail with the sole purpose of getting a lot of attention from your mom– thank god she was out there!!! 😉
Bahaha. Best author/website response I’ve ever seen. It’s impressive how “off” Jordan’s comment manages to be with so few words. Sami covered it too. We still love you Jordan- shrug it off, and go do something that makes you happy.
