The cliffs in the pic above remind me of the car shaped cliffs in Radiator Springs in the Cars movie.

Yes. He actually had a big sign on his place "Continental Divide".
I still remembering crossing the continental divide the first time as a kid driving through Yellowstone with the family and dad explaining what it was. I've crossed it many times since on road trips. It's usually identified with a sign and elevation. I think I crossed it three times on this trip.
