Northernmost Point of the Continental Divide in the Continental USA, Montana

The northernmost point on the Continental Divide in the lower 48 is located where the Divide meets the US/Canada Border, in northern Montana. The site is remote, though it is monumented, as it is also the boundary between the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. The Continental Divide starts in the Bering Sea in Alaska, and travels across that state, then through the Canadian Rockies, becoming the boundary between the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The land is in Glacier National Park, a one million-acre park established in 1910, with numerous 8,000 and 9,000-foot peaks, more than 100 lakes, 50 small alpine glaciers, and three grand lodges. The US Government bought the initial 800,000 acres that would become the park from the Blackfeet Indians, whose principal reservation covers nearly two million acres east of the park. There is a walking trail along the whole of the Divide in the continental USA, which is about 75% complete, but it does not follow the Divide exactly, except when it can. An estimated 200 people do the whole trip of 3,500 miles every year, taking several months to do so.
