What is the highest point on the Continental Divide?
Note
Mount Elbert, the highest peak in the Rockies, is also the highest point on the Continental Divide.
While the Continental Divide traverses a vast expanse of the Rocky Mountains, its highest point coincides with Mount Elbert. Located in Colorado, Mount Elbert stands at 14,433 feet (4,401 meters) above sea level, making it the highest peak in the entire Rocky Mountain range. This makes it a significant landmark both for its elevation and its position along the Continental Divide.
