The Continental Divide part 4: Beartooth pass, Yellowstone National park, Grand Teton national park

The Continental Divide part 3: Crossing Montana
From Kalispell, I was headed south via the Flathead lake, over three days, to arrive at Missoula. After Missoula I followed the interstate 90 (I-90) mostly for about 10 days.
