A drainage divide, water divide, divide, ridgeline,watershed, water parting, or (in Canada) height of land, is the line that separates neighbouring drainage basins. In hilly country, the divide lies along topographical ridges, and may be in the form of a single range of hills or mountains, known as a dividing range. In flat country—especially where the ground is marshy—the divide may be harder to discern.
A valley floor divide is a low drainage divide that runs across a valley, sometimes created by deposition or stream capture.
Since ridgelines are easy to see and agree about, drainage divides are often natural borders defining political boundaries, as with the 18th century North America Royal Proclamation of 1763 that preceded the American Revolution.
Drainage divides can be grouped in three types:
A valley-floor divide occurs on the bottom of a valley and arises as a result of subsequent depositions, such as scree, in a valley through which a river originally flowed continuously.
The Continental Divide of the Americas (also known as the Continental Gulf of Division, the Great Divide, or merely the Continental Divide) is the principal, and largely mountainous, hydrological divide of the Americas. The Continental Divide extends from the Bering Strait to the Strait of Magellan, and separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from (1) those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean (including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea), and (2) along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems that drain into the Arctic Ocean.
Though there are many other hydrological divides in the Americas, the Great Divide is by far the most prominent of these because it tends to follow a line of high peaks along the main ranges of the Rocky Mountains and Andes, at a generally much higher elevation than the other hydrological divisions.
The Continental Divide of the Americas begins at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, the westernmost point on the mainland of the Americas. The Divide crosses northern Alaska into the Yukon, then zig-zags south into British Columbia via the Cassiar Mountains and Omineca Mountains and northern Nechako Plateau to Summit Lake, north of the city of Prince George and just south of the community of McLeod Lake. From there the Divide traverses the McGregor Plateau to the spine of the Rockies, following the crest of the Canadian Rockies southeast to the 120th meridian west, from there forming the boundary between southern British Columbia and southern Alberta.

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
A watershed is an area of land where all of the water that falls on it or moves under it drains into a common area, such as a river, lake, reservoir, or the sea.

On the old 1869 Central Pacific alignment over Donner Pass one can walk across the drainage divide between the Pacific Ocean and Pyramid Lake in the Great Basin in just a few seconds. This video shows snow melt flowing towards Pyramid Lake via Tunnel No. 6 and the old Central Pacific alignment just a few feet away from a stream heading towards the Pacific. This alignment which became Southern Pacific track 1, was abandoned after the UP merger in 1996.

Here is a view from the top of the waterfall leading down to Grizzly Medicine Lake from the glacier basin at Triple Divide Peak in Glacier National Park Montana, USA. I don't know how many vertical feet the drop is, but it is substantial. I don't normally get scared of heights, but looking over this one got me a little queasy! It is a breathtaking experience

A "drainage basin" or "catchment basin" is an extent or an area of land where surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another waterbody, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean. For example, a tributary stream of a brook that joins a small river is tributary of a larger river, which is thus part of a series of successively smaller area but higher elevation drainage basins. Similarly, the Missouri and Ohio rivers are each part of their own drainage basins and that of the Mississippi River. Other terms that are used to describe drainage basins are "catchment", "catchment area", "drainage area", "river basin" and "water basin". In North America, the term "w...
Drainage system The term drainage describes the river system of an area. small streams flowing from different directions come together to form the main river, which ultimately drains into a large water body such as a lake or a sea or an ocean. The area drained by a single river system is called a drainage basin. A drainage basin or catchment basin is an extent or an area of land where all surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice converges to a single point at a lower elevation, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean. River and its tributaries drain an area, which is called a ‘river basin’. Drainage Patterns: A river system usually develops a pattern which is related to the gene...

GoPro footage from our South to North CD ride starting in Lordsburg, NM and ending at Logan's Pass on Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, MT. We used GPSkevin's tracklogs for most of the trip, which made for some amazing rides and scenery (find them here @ https://sites.google.com/site/gpskevin/greatdivideride). We rode a KLR 650 and a KTM 990 Adventure along with pickup truck support. Unfortunately not captured on video: my crash in Colorado and the grizzly we saw in Montana!

Also released as a Facebook edit on the Team Hensall Enduro-Media page. Well I finally got the chance recently to catch up with my good friend Eddie Meek and discuss his last big adventure he under took mid 2016,"The Continental Divide Tour" with Races2Places star Lyndon Poskitt. Now it was one of those last minute film shoots and we did have some issues whilst filming like bad lighting and a camera going down. However I have pulled something out of the bag as they say and I hope people find it interesting. Robbo.

In June 2016 record floods on the Brazos river near Rosenberg, TX undermined a support on a former Southern Pacific rail bridge and forced the temporary closure of Amtrak's Sunset Limited Route between San Antonio and Houston. For over a month Trains 1 and 2 had to take a special rare mileage detour around the damaged bridge via the BNSF Galveston and Mykawa Subs. This video shows the portion of the detour from Rosenburg to the town of Alvin, south of Houston. Not included is the backup move needed to switch the train from the UP Glidden Sub to the BNSF Galveston Sub. Shot from the rear of the train on my GoPro. Video was filmed June 17th, 2016.
Danger At The Mountain Roads Documentary - Prehistoric TV A mountain pass is a route through a mountain range or over a ridge. Since many of the world's mountain ranges have presented formidable barriers to travel, passes have been important since before recorded history, and have played a key role in trade, war, and migration. At lower elevations it may be called a hill pass. The highest vehicle-accessible pass in the world appears to be Mana Pass, located in the Himalayas on the border between India and Tibet. Mountain passes make use of a gap, saddle or col (also sometimes a notch, the low point in a ridge). A topographic saddle is analogous to the mathematical concept of a saddle surface, with a saddle point marking the highest point between two valleys and the lowest point along a r...
All of Florida's water is connected, and so are the forces that are overusing and polluting them. The only parts of the water picture in Florida that are not connected are the wishes of the citizens to the actions of the State's leaders. In "Troubled Waters: Connections and Consequences," we find out how the St. Johns River, its springs and its tributaries are a bellwether for the health and future of Florida's economy and the consequences we will all face if we don't change the way we treat our Troubled Waters. 2017 Winner at the Cinema Verde Film Festival
This is a 4 day backpacking loop on the west side of Glacier National Park. Day 1 I hike up Dutch Creek, and camp at the lower lake. Day 2 I hike over the saddle and down into the Camas Creek drainage. Friends hike in to meet me at Camas Lake and we camp there. On day 3, we had planned to climb Heaven's Peak. Big thunderstorms come through during the night, and it rains on us until noon. We make an afternoon attempt to climb it, but are thwarted by two more thunderstorms. We camp night 3 at the lake. On day 4, my friends hike over Howe Ridge back to Lake McDonald. I continue down the creek, past Arrow and Trout Lakes, back to trailhead.

An original, collaborative production of music, dance, poetry, and art celebrating our local water in our southern Finger Lakes area. Created by CCC faculty, this program was performed in partnership with CCC Performing Ensembles and the Cantata Singers on Sunday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. at Corning Community College. This program was commissioned by CCC and made possible, in part, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts’ Decentralization Program, administered locally by the ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes. All of the poetry was created specifically for this program by Edward A. Dougherty, poet and Professor of English at CCC. “I sought water in many forms—falls, rain, ponds, lakes, underground,” said Dougherty. “I began with my own encounters and reflections, but ev...
This is a 5 day off trail backpacking route along the Continental Divide in the northwest corner of Glacier National Park. We did this the last week of September, 2016. We hike up to Brown Pass and camp for night 1. Day 2 we leave the trail, and work our way up onto the slopes of Thunderbird Mountain. We use goat trails to traverse the backside of both Thunderbird and the Guardhouse, camping on night 2 at the saddle between Olson Creek and the Valentine Creek drainage. On day 3 we traverse over to Jefferson Pass, and then work our way south, camping near Bighorn Peak. On day 4 we reach Gyrfalcon Lake, and then drop down to the Honeymoon Lakes area, and continue down to Grace Lake for night 4. The last part of that is a difficult bush whack. Day 5 we hike out to the Logging Lake tr...
