Great Divide Trail Association

The Great Divide Trail is one of Canada’s most rugged and remote long-distance routes, stretching roughly 1,100 km along the spine of the Rocky Mountains from Waterton Lakes to Kakwa.

This isn’t always a manicured trail. It’s a true wilderness route. You’ll find everything from high alpine passes and dense forest to river crossings, wildlife encounters, and sections that still feel raw and unfinished. That’s part of what makes it so special.

This channel offers a look behind the scenes. Trail building and maintenance. Volunteer projects and educational webinars. The people who show up, and the work that goes into shaping and protecting a trail that continues to evolve with every season.

If you’ve hiked the GDT, are planning to, or simply want to see what it takes to maintain a trail like this, you’re in the right place. Enjoy.
