CDTC Trail Days

Now in its fifth year, Continental Divide Trail Days marks the start of thru-hiker season on the Divide, promotes southern New Mexico as a destination for outdoor recreation, and celebrates the individuals who set out to enjoy the CDT. Two days full of games, music, classes, adventure films, dancing, raffles, presentations, and free pancakes mean that Continental Divide Trail Days has something for everyone, from Silver City locals to experienced long-distance hikers visiting New Mexico for the first time. The weekend's events include a day of fun for all at the Trail Days Festival at Gough Park, a CDT Party at the Power and Light Press, FREE pancake breakfast, and Friday's Talks of the Trail Education Series. Also, for the first time ever, hikers can camp for FREE at Gough Park! More camping information coming soon. Continental Divide Trail Days is free to attend, with the exception of a ticketed film festival on Saturday night. Ticket sales and proceeds from the weekend’s raffles all benefit the Continental Divide Trail Coalition and our work to complete, promote, and protect the CDT. Join us in Silver City to explore the Continental Divide, its unique communities and cultures, and the wonderful, wacky world of long-distance hiking.
