Great Divide

Cristina Henríquez’s engaging “The Great Divide” takes up that historical call by using the power of fiction to further imagine the lives of those who built and lived near the canal.

There's also The Great Divide by Cristina Henriquez, a sweeping tale about the unsung people who lived in the shadow of the Panama Canal as it was being constructed, including labourers, protestors, doctors and fishmongers.

The women were participating in a long-anticipated bike ride along the Great Divide Mountain Bike route.

The warmer months also bring bicyclists traversing the scenic Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, which this year runs nearly 2,500 miles from northern Montana to southern New Mexico.

The route loosely follows the Continental Divide, at times zig-zagging over it on gravel roads, dirt roads and trails and some single tracks, said Dillon Key, who works at Great Divide Cyclery in Helena.
