“ϳԹ inspires our readers to explore the natural, ϳԹ world in order to live more engaged, fuller lives,” said Larry Burke, ϳԹ‘s chairman and editor in chief. “We partnered with the CDTA as a way to promote awareness, funding, and participation in one of the most monumental trail-development efforts in our nation’s history.”
In addition to an in-kind donation of $15,000, ϳԹ will raise both visibility and funding for the CDTA by publishing a special advertising section in its July 2005 issue, with 50 percent of the net revenue donated to the CDTA. In addition, the CDTA will sell ϳԹ subscriptions as part of its fundraising efforts, earning $10 for every ϳԹ subscription sold.
“ϳԹ‘s support will create the additional momentum we need to complete the trail by 2008,” said Bruce Ward, executive director of CDTA. “With ϳԹ‘s help, the CDTA will be able to educate millions of readers on the significance of preserving the history, scenic grandeur, and enjoyment of this natural treasure.”
ϳԹ will also publish, in its July 2005 issue, information on how to volunteer, a pull-out map, and details about the top day hikes along the Continental Divide Trail. This is all part of ϳԹ‘s efforts to encourage its readers to experience some of the most wild and scenic places left in the world, while conserving the environment and promoting healthy lifestyles.
This partnership was announced at an event co-hosted by ϳԹ at the Outdoor Retail show in Salt Lake City to celebrate the Outdoor Industry’s 10 years of support for the CDTA.

The Continental Divide Trail was established by Congress as a National Scenic Trail in 1978. When complete, the “King of Trails” will be the most significant trail system in the world. Stretching 3,100 miles along the backbone of America from Canada to Mexico, it accesses some of the most wild and scenic places left in the world while conserving the environment and promoting its well-being. Since 1995, the Continental Divide Trail Alliance has played a central role toward the completion, management, and protection of the Trail, and it is the voice for unity in the completion of the Trail.
