Nature
Divide Mountain is a 5,195-foot summit in Denali National Park and Preserve in the Alaska Range, rising prominently above the Toklat River valley despite its moderate elevation by regional standards. A noticeable landmark for travelers on the park road near Polychrome Pass, it stands more than 2,000 feet above the valley floor and drains into the Toklat River within the Tanana River basin. Its descriptive local name was in use by 1916, when it first appeared on a U.S. Geological Survey map. In a subarctic climate of long, intensely cold, snowy winters and mild summers, the mountain is usually most favorable for climbing or viewing from May to June.
