The Divide Ski Trail is a 2.8 mile (4.5 km) round trip, more difficult, skier-tracked trail. Begin at Spring Creek Trail junction. The trail climbs up to a saddle on the Continental Divide. On a clear day, you may have views of Shoshone Lake and Mt. Sheridan. Return to Old Faithful via the Spring Creek Trail.
