Though the Continental Divide Trail straddles the Idaho and Montana border for around 350 miles southeast of here, this is the point, just above Chief Joseph Pass, where the trail northward finally departs the border. From here, the CDT plunges into Montana on its way to Glacier National Park and Canada.
