Great Divide Trail (GDT)

The wild heart of the Rockies. Stretching over 1,100km from Waterton Lakes National Park to Kakwa Provincial Park, the Great Divide Trail (GDT) is a loosely connected series of trails, old forestry roads, and off-trail cross-country segments. It follows the Continental Divide, crossing between Alberta and British Columbia dozens of times. Unlike the well-manicured PCT or AT, the GDT is famous for its 'trail-less' sections where hikers must navigate by line-of-sight and topographical markers. It traverses some of the most spectacular and remote regions in the Canadian Rockies, through territory where bears and wolves are far more common than humans.

Belize's most demanding multi-day trek. Over three to four days you cover 27 km through dense tropical jungle, river crossings, and rugged granite ridgelines to reach Victoria Peak (1,120m) — the country's second-highest summit after Doyle's Delight (1,124m). The trail is only open in the dry season (February–May) and a certified guide from the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is mandatory. The Maya Mountains are composed of ancient metamorphic and granitic rock — not alpine terrain, but remote tropical expedition terrain where heat, humidity, and isolation are the primary challenges.
