The Great Divide Trail (GDT) is a hiking trail in the Canadian Rockies, made up of several trails connected by roads and wilderness routes. It closely follows the Great Divide between Alberta and British Columbia, crossing it more than 30 times. Its southern terminus is at the Canada–US border (where it connects with the Continental Divide Trail), and its northern terminus is at Kakwa Lake, north of Jasper National Park. The trail is 1,095 km (680 mi) long and ranges in elevation from 1,055 m (3,461 ft) to 2,590 m (8,500 ft). Although the idea and first trail work goes back to the 1960s, the project went dormant for decades until the early 2000s.
