Spiral Tunnels,
A brutal avalanche in 1899 destroyed the station at Rogers Pass. One by one, the frugal proposals were eliminated and CP Rail's chief engineer signed off on a much more ambitious project that would solve the problem once and for all.
Emerald Lake 1 hour 30 minutes
Emerald Lake is a freshwater lake and enclosed by mountains of the President Range. The vivid green colour of the Emerald Lake water is caused by powdered rock from the glaciers, which reflects the blue-green spectrum of sunlight. The rock type and the amount of it in the water causes the colour to vary from lake to lake and month to month, even take a short surrounding-lake walk with us to sense the quiet beauty of the color-enriched lake that you would never forget in the rest of your life.
Peyto Lake, Icefield Parkway, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta Canada, 45 minutes
During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, and these suspended rock particles are what give the lake a unique bright, turquoise colour. Because of its bright colour, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and the area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot.
(Note: After June 1st, this attraction will be replace by Moraine Lake.)
Johnston Creek originates north of Castle Mountain in a glacial valley southwest of Badger Pass The creek flows through a gorge known as Johnston Canyon.
As Johnston Creek approaches the Bow River, it flows through a large canyon formed by erosion over thousands of years. The creek has cut through the limestone rock to form sheer canyon walls, as well as waterfalls, tunnels, and pools.
