4:20Now PlayingTeresa Martinez said she’ll probably never thru-hike something like the Appalachian Trail or Continental Divide Trail, but that hasn’t stopped her from devoting her life to them.
Martinez is the executive director of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition, which was founded in 2012 by volunteers and recreationists looking to improve and protect the 3,100-mile National Scenic Trail from New Mexico to the Canada border.
This marks the 40th year of the Continental Divide Trail, which is 76 percent complete. Some stretches of the trail require thru-hikers to walk along the highway, but efforts are underway to make it fully marked.
Martinez has worked for the CDT for 11 years. Before that, she worked at the Appalachian Trail – a job she said she came into when she started volunteering there in college.
