This is the section of trails through Yellowstone National Park (YNP) that makes up the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). The data is a subset of the Yellowstone trails data that were created through a Trail Survey which took place during the years of 1997-2000. For that survey, differentially corrected GPS (Global Positioning System) data were collected primarily on foot for all existing maintained trails and spur trails to backcountry campsites, attractions and buildings within the boundaries of (YNP). The trails that could not be obtained through the GPS or were rerouted within the three years of the survey were acquired through the uses of 1 meter Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads (DOQQs) and the help of backcountry rangers with knowledge of where the trails are located. There are also associated GPS data for trail bridges, backcountry campsites, and patrol cabins.
