Today the Trans-Canada Hwy crosses the river several times before ascending into the Kicking Horse Pass from Yoho into Banff. It's only one of three passes through the Rockies from British Columbia into Alberta. The other two are Hwy 3 through the Crowsnest Pass way in the south just above the US border, and Hwy 16 through the Yellowhead Pass in the north to Jasper.
Owen and Coco enjoy watching the rushing water...
