Cross the Kicking Horse Pass, the highest point on
the Trans-Canada Highway, and stare down onto a spectacular mountain
corridor in Yoho National Park. The legendary pass opened British
Columbia to the rest of Canada by rail in the 19th century. From the
Spiral Tunnels viewpoint, watch a Canadian engineering phenomenon in
action as trains disappear into one Rocky Mountain tunnel and emerge
from another at a different elevation on the steep slopes.
Traversez le col Kicking Horse, le point le plus
élevé de la route Transcanadienne, et admirez de haut le corridor
montagneux du parc national Yoho. Au XIXe siècle, ce col légendaire a
ouvert les frontières de la Colombie-Britannique au reste du Canada par
chemin de fer. Rendez-vous au belvédère des Tunnels en Spirale pour voir
un phénomène de l’ingénierie canadienne en action ! Sur les pentes
escarpées des Rocheuses, observez les trains qui s’engouffrent dans l’un
des tunnels, puis ressortent d’un autre tunnel à une altitude
différente.
