Talk:Lost Trail Pass

History/source of name
I seem to recall that the pass got its name because the 19th-century surveyors plotting the border between the Montana and Idaho territories, who were supposed to follow the Continental Divide, lost the divide there and followed another ridge line for hundreds of miles before realizing their mistake. The powers that be decided to make the surveyed line the border, and the pass was named for the mistake. Any truth to this? Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
