 | | The massive peaks of the Continental Divide constitute its backbone, where ribbons of pure, clear streams, the result of melting snow and alpine glaciers, form the headwaters of the Columbia River to the west and the Mississippi to the east. |
 | | However, other islands of development are to be found in such locations as Many Glacier, in the northeastern part of Glacier; Logan Pass Visitor Center, at the summit of Going-to-the-Sun Road, on the Continental Divide; and Apgar Village, at the foot of Lake McDonald. |
