Welcome to Old Hachita, New Mexico: Birthplace of the Continental Divide Trail

Welcome to Old Hachita, the quiet desert town that marks the start of the Continental Divide Trail and the domicile of the Crazy Cook Monument.

Old Hachita, a forsaken town beside Hachita, New Mexico, is the commencement of the Continental Divide Trail. This trek leads to Canada. Quite fortuitously, the Crazy Cook Monument resides there, commemorating the trail's past and inciting the certifiably insane to explore. Fancy a hike? The Crazy Cook welcomes you.
