Crossing the Continental Divide via Montana, Idaho's Centennial Mountains

CENTENNIAL VALLEY, Montana -- I long wondered whether there is a route across the Centennial Mountains, a unique east-west-trending Continental Divide range that rises more than 3,000 feet above the valleys that flank it along the Idaho-Montana border.

My goal has been to cross from the Idaho side to connect with Montana's scenic Red Rock Pass Road (in the photo), in Centennial Valley. The valley is the locale of the beautiful Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
