Road leading up to a Continental Divide mountain range with storm clouds, Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado

Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado

Schism

A view of the Great Continental Divide—which separates the watersheds of the Pacific Ocean from those of the Atlantic Ocean, and runs from Alaska to the northern tip of South America—along Independence Pass. Independence Pass was carved out of the land by glaciers and the erosive action of the Roaring Fork River over thousands of years. It is the site of the first road in the Roaring Fork Valley, which was pioneered over Hunter Pass, the original name of Independence Pass, in 1881.
