I (Bill) am walking Dottie along the river trail as on the days before. Just past our camper and through the trees a group of towns people are having an organzation breakfast.
On Trans Canada Hwy past Yoho NP to Lake Loise. Weather much more promising today on the mountains as well as down on the Kicking Horse River
We stopped at Spiral Tunnels and were fortunate enough to see a train pass here. As trains pass through Kicking Horse Pass and across the continental divide, they pass through two spiral tunnels. We saw the train below going into the tunnel left. The tunnel turns clockwise inside the mountain. Then we see the front of the train emerge underneath before the back of the train enters the tunnel
