Old Friend Kicking Horse

The Highway often finds itself alongside the various rivers that feed off the snowmelt of the highlands. Similarly, so does the rail system.

Here, as we approached my old stomping ground of Golden, the Kicking Horse River showed itself to me in a different guise to what I'd seen weeks earlier (when it was still iced over). You can also get an idea of the relatively tight curves that the CPR puts its charges through.
