Continental Ranges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Continental Ranges are the largest and most well-known of the three main official subdivisions of the Canadian Rockies, the others being the Hart Ranges and the Muskwa Ranges. They include the whole range south from McGregor Pass, just south of Mount Sir Alexander, all the way to Marias Pass in Montana, which is between the North Fork of the Flathead River and Summit Creek, a tributary of the Two Medicine River. Marias Pass is the route used by the Great Northern Railway.
