Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
"This northern-most portion [of the Continental Trail] follows the backbone of the Rocky Mountains for 795 miles through Montana and Idaho. It passes through some of our nation's most spectacular scenery--Glacier National Park, ten national forests with wildernesses such as the Bob Marshall and Anaconda Pintler, several Bureau of Land Management Resource Areas, State lands and short segments of private lands."

The Continental Divide Trail Alliance
The Continental Trail is also known as the "King of Trails." It was established as a National Scenic Trail in 1978 by and act of Congress. The trail is envisioned as a 3100 mile backcountry trail system, and at present the supporters of this wildlife area report that over 70% of the trail is usable.
