Help us build, maintain, and promote the GDT!
Here at the Great Divide Trail Association a lot happens long before the hiking season — and we could use your help. Check out our volunteer page for urgent help needed, or reach out to volunteer@greatdividetrail.com. Many roles can help remotely, and there’s room for anyone who has time and interest.
