About this spot

False Parting Of The Ways

The False Parting of the Ways is an intriguing geological feature located in the Big Sandy watershed of Wyoming. At this point, the Continental Divide splits into two separate ridges, creating the illusion that the river is flowing in opposite directions. However, the water actually flows in the same direction, ultimately draining into the Gulf of Mexico. This phenomenon has been the subject of much study and curiosity over the years, and it remains a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

Visitors to the False Parting of the Ways can enjoy a scenic hike through the beautiful Big Sandy wilderness, taking in stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. In addition to the unique geological feature, the area is also home to a diverse array of plant and animal life, including moose, elk, and a variety of bird species. The False Parting of the Ways is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the natural wonders of the American West.
