Two Ocean Pass
is a mountain pass on North America's Continental Divide, in the Teton
Wilderness, which is part of Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest. The
pass is notable for Parting of the Waters, where one stream, North Two Ocean
Creek, splits into two distributaries, Pacific Creek and Atlantic Creek, at Parting of the Waters National Natural
Landmark. These two creeks ultimately flow into their respective oceans. Atlantic Creek water eventually flows into
the Yellowstone River and empties into the Gulf of Mexico via the Missouri
River and Mississippi River. Pacific Creek water eventually flows into the
Snake River and empties into the Pacific via the Columbia River.
