The Continental Divide is the spine of the Rocky Mountains throughout Canada and the US. It is called such because on the west side of the divide, the water runs to the Pacific Ocean, while on the east the rivers and streams run into the Gulf of Mexico and eventually the Atlantic. The divide forms some of the border between British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, then travels through the United States in Montana, Wyoming and Colorado before continuing southward into Mexico and Central America. Whenever the divide crosses a highway there are markers indicating the location.
