Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
by Eric "Savant" Allen
In the summer of 2005, Eric "Savant" Allen hiked the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT) solo from Mexico to Canada. The Continental Divide is where water flows on one side of the divide to the Pacific Ocean and on the other side to the Atlantic Ocean. His route of over 2,700 miles took him through the deserts, mountains, and forests of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. His presentation includes a combination of video and photography that captures the unbelievable scenery and wildlife of the "backbone" of North America.
Eric also hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) from Canada to Mexico in the summer of 2004 and currently is the caretaker for an 8-mile stretch of the PCT in the Columbia Gorge. Eric works as the Development Director for Columbia Land Trust in Vancouver, WA.
