About

Pleistocene glaciers carved the dramatic peaks, hanging valleys, and cirques you see today — though only ~26 small remnant glaciers survive (from ~150 in 1850), and they're expected to be gone within a generation. The Continental Divide runs through the park; Triple Divide Peak is the only point in North America where precipitation drains to three different oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, and Hudson Bay/Arctic).
