Straddling the Divide - a photo on Flickriver

            High on the Continental Divide, separating waters which flow to the Atlantic Ocean (to the left) and the Pacific drainage (to the right), looking towards Navajo Peak (knob toward the left, 13409 ft / 4087 m), Apache Peak (13441 ft / 4097 m), and Mount George (12691 ft / 3868 m) from near the summit of Shoshoni Peak (12967 ft / 3952 m). This small plateau is a residual portion of a much larger uplift plateau that occurred starting in the Laramide mountain building period 70 million years ago. The uplifted plateau has been eroded by repeated glacial-interglacial cycles, which gouged deep valleys into this plateau- note the very steep drops on either side of the divide here. Remnants of the ancient high plateau occur on summit ridges in a few places of the Front Range of the southern Rocky Mountains.

In the distance are the Gore and Williams Fork Ranges.
