You can probably name a river that flows into the Atlantic and a river that flows into the Pacific, but can you name a river that flows into both oceans? It seems impossible. Water on the east side of the continental divide eventually flows to the Atlantic, while water on the west side of the continental divide eventually flows to the Pacific. How could a river do both? YouTuber HalfAsInteresting explains.
In Bridger-Teton National Forest, the North Two Ocean Creek in Two Ocean Pass splits into two streams exactly along the Continental Divide. The split forms the Pacific Creek and the Atlantic Creek, with a wooden sign stating that it’s 3,488 miles to the Atlantic Ocean and 1,353 miles to the Pacific Ocean. While unique watersheds aren’t incredibly rare, North Two Ocean Creek is truly one-of-a-kind.
