The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to completing and protecting the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT). With a mission to promote and preserve this 3,100-mile trail, the CDTC brings together a diverse community of volunteers, enthusiasts, and supporters. They provide up-to-date information, encourage conservation, and foster stewardship of the trail and its surrounding landscapes.

The CDTC envisions the CDT as a world-class landscape that inspires connection, creativity, and personal growth. They work towards protecting the trail's natural and scenic resources, fostering a sense of community, promoting public land stewardship, and inspiring healthy lifestyles. The CDTC operates on the values of integrity, honesty, and mutual respect, building working relationships with their stakeholders.

Since their establishment in 2012, they have worked closely with federal land management agencies to ensure the long-term preservation of the CDT for future generations. With a focus on stewardship, promotion, community-building, and sound governance, the CDTC strives to create a culture of care and belonging within the trail community
