The Continental Ranges is a name for a major grouping of mountain ranges in the Rocky Mountains located in eastern British Columbia, western Alberta and northern Montana. It is a physiographic designation for use by geologists and is not used by the general public, and is not recognized in Alberta and does not appear on topographic maps,^[1], though the names of its subranges, the Kootenay, Park or Main Ranges, and Front Ranges, are in common use. It is the largest and best-known of the three main such subdivisions of the Canadian Rockies, the others being the Hart Ranges and the Muskwa Ranges.^[2] They include the whole range south from McGregor Pass, just south of Mount Sir Alexander, all the way to Marias Pass in Montana, which is between the North Fork of the Flathead River and Summit Creek, a tributary of the Two Medicine River. Marias Pass is the route used by the Great Northern Railway.
