(disclosure: I am academic member, but express my personal view) The Great Divide route is, to my knowledge, not signposted. The source for thr route is most likely either a GPX track from ACA or a map set from ACA, which has their copyright on it. aca sells the GPX track and the map. For these reasons I think the Great Divide should no be in OSM.
