Continental Divide Trail

The portion of the Continental Divide Trail that is in or borders Lemhi County is 137.1 miles long. It begins at Morrison Lake in Montana and ends at Anderson Mountain above Gibbonsville.

Because this is such a long trail, and managed by several different entities, we list smaller segments of the CDT below:

Bannock Pass to Lemhi Pass: 27.6 miles, administered by BLM Salmon Field Office

 Lemhi Pass to Goldstone Pass: 19.8 miles, administered by Salmon-Challis Natl Forest

Goldstone Pass to Miner Lakes Trailhead: 26.6 miles, administered by Beaverhead-Deerlodge Natl Forest

Miner Lakes Trailhead to Big Hole Pass: 32.7 miles, administered by Beaverhead-Deerlodge and Salmon-Challis Natl Forest

Big Hole Pass to Chief Joseph Pass: 16.8 miles, administered by Salmon-Challis Natl Forest

Back to Trail Stewardship

For those people who love our Salmon Challis Trails and want to contribute in a different way, your donation can help us by: 

· Providing match. The Salmon Challis Trails Group has been working with Lemhi County in applying for  Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grants and we must cover 20% of the cost. By making a tax deductible donation you, the trail user, ensure these projects move forward. 

· Supporting volunteers. YEP maintains a trailer with tools for volunteers. We also provide items like T-shirts, hats, water bottles, and food at our volunteer workdays.  

· Training. Donations will help us provide first aid, CPR, saw training and more to ensure the safety and well-being of our trail stewards.
