Within the boundary of Glacier National Park Montana, two Continental Divides Intersect at the summit of Triple Divide Peak. This unique spot is the only place in North America where this occurs. If you poured a bucket of water on the summit of Triple Divide Peak, a third of the water would end up in the Atlantic Ocean at the Gulf of Mexico, a third of the water would end up in the Pacific Ocean, and a third would end up in the Arctic Ocean at Hudson Bay. And because of this intersection of Continental Divides, the animal and plant life is more diverse than any other area in North America. __________________________________________________________________
