How difficult is the GDT?
The GDT has been described as the most spectacular and challenging long-distance trail in North America. A journey on the GDT promises to be rewarding but not without a few challenges:

  • hiking conditions are potentially hazardous and often strenuous, including steep climbs and challenging trail conditions (brushy and muddy)
  • navigation can be difficult, especially on sections where the trail is overgrown or non-existent
  • glacial stream crossings can be deep and fast
  • the hiking season in the Canadian Rockies is deceptively short (July to mid-September)
  • there’s always a potential for rain or even summer snowstorms
  • the GDT is in prime grizzly and black bear habitat
  • swarms of mosquitoes are common in the summer
  • trail exit points for resupply or potential emergency access are remote
