Complete the construction and maintenance of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Completion Act?
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Completion Act is active under S. 1470, which was ordered to be reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on December 16, 2025. The Senate must now hold a floor vote to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is the limited time available for the Senate to schedule votes. While being voted out of committee is a significant milestone that most bills do not reach, the lack of action since December 16, 2025, shows that securing floor time remains a difficult hurdle.
