I’ve got to ask, what’s this “divide” that’s so important to get caps?
The Continental Divide is the spot where a drop of rain will either find its way east to the Atlantic or west to the Pacific, given enough time. Triple Divide Peak isn’t far from here … the Hudson Bay is sort of a third option, even if it opens to the North Atlantic, it’s huge!
