Epic Long-Distance Trail Map | Mexico to Canada | Panoramic Format (1219 × 457 mm) | Premium Finishes

A sweeping, panoramic map of one of the world’s great wilderness journeys. Published by National Geographic, this detailed wall map traces the full length of the Continental Divide Trail—stretching over 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada along the backbone of the Rocky Mountains.

From desert basins to alpine ridgelines, this map captures the scale, elevation, and challenge of the trail in one continuous view. Whether you’re planning a thru-hike, tracking progress, or simply drawn to the grandeur of the Divide, it offers both practical insight and visual impact.


Why This Map Stands Out

Full trail, end to end
Follows the entire Continental Divide Trail across five states—an uninterrupted view of one of the longest hiking routes in the world.

Built for planning and progress tracking
Ideal for mapping sections, marking milestones, and visualising the full journey.

Elevation profile included
Clearly shows the trail’s peaks, passes, and valleys—essential for understanding terrain and effort.

National Geographic precision
Clean, authoritative cartography ensures readability across vast distances.

Panoramic wall presence
At over 1.2 metres wide, it’s both a functional tool and a dramatic display piece.
