The Continental Divide

After leaving Old Faithful you will soon come to Kepler Cascade. Here a

whole series of captivating waterfalls descend about 150 feet, the magic

waters singing as they fall.

Continuing on toward Yellowstone Lake—your next stop—you cross the

Continental Divide. The Divide crosses the southwest corner of the Park.

This immense watershed was created by the tablelands of the Rocky

Mountains from which the drainage is easterly or westerly. Eventually

the flow on one slope reaches the Atlantic Ocean, and the flow on the

other slope finds its way to the Pacific Ocean.
