[2] The Scapegoat Wilderness is a 10-mile (16 km) hike north of Rogers Pass via the Continental Divide Trail.

Rogers Pass in Montana was named by the Great Northern Railway for one of the line's locating surveyors,[3] A.B.

James J. Hill, who controlled the Great Northern, then hired Rogers as a locating engineer on the latter, which built into Montana in 1887.

Shortly after Rogers had located the pass in Montana that bears his name, his career ended when he was badly injured falling from his horse.

In March and April, strong westerly winds help migrating flocks of eagles cross the Continental Divide so that they can spend the summer on the Great Plains.

Rogers Pass is the location of the lowest temperature ever recorded in the contiguous United States.
