Continental Divide Trail Fires - 2026

These are the most recent Continental Divide Trail fires, CDT fire perimeters and national surface smoke information.

The table below shows fires near the CDT. Fires on trail or within a mile of the trail will show red text. If a fire perimeter intersects the trail the table will show start/end trail mile, first encounter to last encounter, the entire segment is not necessarily burned.

View maps of national surface smoke, near trail fires/perimeters or both layers together. Fires/perimeters are updated daily, surface smoke is updated hourly.

Surface smoke data and fire weather is from NOAA, fires/perimeters are from National Interagency Fire Center and hot spots are from NASA.

Details: Last 72 hours shown. Full vertical column smoke, hot spots and burn scars. Land cover is a fire weather risk index comprised of: temperature, wind, relative humidity and ground surface moisture. Land cover fire risk is color-coded as: green (low), greenish-brown (moderate) and brown (high). Click Fire Name in the table below for interactive map with fire perimeters.
