Parting of the Waters, Natural watershed divide in Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming, United States

The Parting of the Waters is a natural watershed divide in Bridger-Teton National Forest where a single creek splits into two separate streams. Located at Two Ocean Pass, this geographic anomaly sits within the remote Teton Wilderness area.

North Two Ocean Creek descends from the South Two Ocean Plateau at just over 2,500 metres and splits into Pacific Creek and Atlantic Creek. The site was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1965 under the name Two Ocean Pass National Natural Landmark. Its Y-shaped divide is cited as one of the few places where a stream crosses a continental drainage divide.

The name Parting of the Waters renders the site's function: North Two Ocean Creek splits into Atlantic Creek and Pacific Creek at a Y-shaped fork. The routed wooden sign on a conifer trunk gives the distances, 1303 miles to the Atlantic and 1383 to the Pacific. The site has been a National Natural Landmark since 1965, designated as Two Ocean Pass National Natural Landmark.

The site lies in the Teton Wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest, a few kilometres south of Yellowstone National Park, with the nearest roads tens of kilometres to the west and south. Access is by trail only, so plan a multi-day backcountry trip. The sign stands on a conifer trunk at about 2,500 m (8,200 ft) near Two Ocean Pass, 0.4 miles (0.6 km) northwest of the pass's low point.

Water leaving this spot flows in two completely different directions and eventually reaches two different oceans. This rare phenomenon makes the location a geographic curiosity that few visitors ever witness.
