On the border between Alberta and Bristish Columbia is a small turn-out from Highway 93. Here stands a large sign marking the boundary between Banff NP and Kootenay NP.

This boundary also happens to be a point on the continental divide of the Rocky Mountains. Here rainfall either flows west to the Pacific Ocean or East to the Atlantic Ocean.

The sign can be seen in Google Street View.
