Continental Divide National Scenic Trail Features
Where the Waters Divide
The Continental Divide is a line along the Rocky Mountains which separates the waters of the continent. Water on the east side flows into the Atlantic Ocean, while water on the west side flows into the Pacific. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail follows near to this divide, crossing five ecological zones on its 3,100-mile journey through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. It is a remote trail, offering an experience increasingly difficult to find in our developed world.
