DAINES INTRODUCES BIPARTISAN BILL TO COMPLETE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Steve Daines introduced a bipartisan bill directing the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior to prioritize completion of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) by the trail's 50th anniversary in 2028.

"Completing the Continental Divide Trail will support Montana jobs, boost economic development for our local gateway communities, and encourage cooperation between federal land managers, states, Tribes, towns, and more. As an avid outdoorsman, I know how important outdoor recreation is to our Montana way of life-- I'm glad to work across the aisle to get this done for Montanans and everyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of the American West," Daines said.
