This is our view north where the water would flow to Hudson Bay and onto the Arctic. Ahead is Split Mountain with Red Eagle Mountain to its right. The trail takes you around the other side of Mount James and then down to Red Eagle Lake. There are two backcountry campsites there.
About 2,300 feet above Medicine Grizzly Lake lies Triple Divide Pass. Stand on top of nearby Triple Divide Peak and empty your canteen; the water will flow into three continental drainages. Some will wind up in the Pacific Ocean via the Flathead River. Some will make its way to Hudson Bay. And some will hitch the Mississippi River out into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
