User / Gail K E / Crossing the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado
287 items
The Continental Divide is the main hydrological divide of the Americas. It runs the full length of North and South America and separates the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds, sending all water to the west toward the Pacific Ocean and all water east toward the Atlantic Ocean.

The San Juan Mountain Range in southwestern Colorado is the largest mountain range in the state and contains some of the highest summits in the continental US. The Continental Divide Trail crosses Wolf Creek Pass in the San Juan Range. These mountains have the highest snowfall levels in the state due to moisture blown in from the Pacific Ocean. The annual snowfall average is about 400 inches (10 m) but in some years it exceeds 600 inches (15 m).
