The Hwy 191/89/287 route through Yellowstone National Park crosses the Continental Divide three times. The northwestern most crossing is at Craig Pass at an elevation of 8262 feet, about 8 road miles SE of Old Faithful. The pass was named for Mrs. Ida Craig Wilcox , the first tourist to cross the pass. Isa Lake stradles the Continental Divide at the pass and drains to both the Atlantic and the Pacific.
