Proposed Continental Divide/Kit Carson National Scenic Trails, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail study completed pursuant to the National Trails System Act of 1968, Public Law 90-543, recommends authorization and designation of the Continental Divide and Kit Carson Trails as components of the national trails system. The proposal would establish a 3,100-mile foot and horseback trail generally following the Divide from the Mexican border to the Canadian border through the States of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana and a 370-mile Kit Carson Trail along the mountain ranges in north-central New Mexico. These two trails would be developed over the next 2-3 decades to flexible but minumum standards, including trail support facilities such as campgrounds and trail heads. Sixty-two percent or 1,900 miles of the proposed Continental Divide Trail and 50 percent of the Kit Carson Trail are in existence. Development of the nonexisting trail segments and support facilities as well as the upgrading of some of the existing trail would cause some adverse environmental effects through the distrubance of soil and vegetation. Additional adverse impacts would occur for some of the trail segments due to anticipated increased use by hikers, horseback riders, and pack animals and increased disposal of wastes. Propsed mangement of the trails will mitigate adverse impacts.
