Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
When you leave Yellowstone northbound on the CDT you enter the Targee National Forest just west of Old Faithful. Approximately 36.4 miles of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail runs through the Island Park District. This can be unfriendly sheep country. The trail is in moderate to difficult terrain, often in the higher elevations. Some of the trail is located in Situation I Grizzly Bear Habitat, so visitors are urged to use proper food storage and camping practices when camping in the area. Panoramic views and challenging terrain make this trail a memorable experience. Portions of the trail are closed to motorized vehicles. Portions of the trail have yet to be constructed or marked.
West of Henry’s Lake you will start running into a lot of sheep grazing. I found many of the CDT signs through this section knocked down and thrown into the woods. It was a difficult route finding section because trail signage vandalism. Once past Monida things get better. Only about 60 miles of trail confusion.
