The Rockies form the continental divide which divides rainfall between the Eastern and Western United States. To the east of the divide, rivers flow to the Gulf of Mexico, and the rivers of the western slopes drain toward the Pacific Ocean.
As Lewis and Clark and their guide, Sacajawea, made their way westward across the Rocky Mountains, they encountered primeval forests alive with wolves and grizzlies. Nearly two centuries later, these symbols of the frontier West still survive in the Rockies, along with lynx, wolverines, bison, pronghorn, and elk. As Bud made his way westward across the Rocky Mountains, he encountered gas stations, 7-11s, miniature golf, and Winnebagos.
