A Huge Thank You for an Incredible Trail Supporter Campaign

This year’s Trail Supporter Campaign was nothing short of inspiring. 

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised $46,112.39 in direct donations through this year’s Trail Supporter Campaign. In addition, our matching donor contributed $50,000, bringing the total raised to $96,112.39. The impact of this campaign will significantly support the GDTA’s 2026 operating season. 

Our sincere thanks to all of the businesses and individuals who contributed. Your support plays a critical role in maintaining and improving the trail, supporting our field crews and volunteers, and advancing key infrastructure projects. 

We would like to extend a special thank you to our matching donor for their leadership and generosity. Their commitment not only doubled the funds raised but also motivated others to give, strengthening the overall impact of the campaign. 

One of the key projects we are trying to complete in 2026 is the Blaeberry River Cable Car. While much of this work happens behind the scenes, we are actively completing the necessary back-end tasks, including planning, approvals, coordination, and logistics, to ensure we can move forward responsibly and successfully. This groundwork is essential to setting the project up for long-term success, and your support is helping make it possible. 

Campaigns like this are a strong reminder that the Great Divide Trail is a true community effort. Whether you donated, shared the campaign, or helped spread the word, you made a difference. 

From all of us at the GDTA, thank you for believing in the trail and in the work we do together.
