Witness a remarkable feat of railway engineering at the Spiral Train Tunnels viewpoint in Yoho National Park. From this vantage point, you can observe trains entering and exiting tunnels bored through the solid rock of Cathedral and Mount Ogden, effectively reducing the steep grade for trains traversing the Kicking Horse Pass. Interpretive signs explain the ingenious design and the challenging construction of these historic tunnels, a testament to human ingenuity overcoming the formidable mountain terrain. It’s a unique opportunity to appreciate both the natural landscape and the impressive infrastructure that allows passage through it.
