Bannock Pass This is a fairly remote pass on the continental divide—as well as the Montana/Idaho border.

It's interesting to note that the Gilmore & Pittsburgh Railroad used this pass via switch-backs and a tunnel. The railroad was a subsidiary of the Northern Pacific and only operated between 1910 to 1939.
