Spiral Tunnels

Stop at the Spiral Tunnels viewpoint in Yoho National Park, where one of Canada’s most impressive railway engineering feats comes to life. Built to navigate the steep grades of Kicking Horse Pass, the tunnels allow trains to loop through the mountains — a fascinating sight when a train passes through the valley below.

Natural Rock Bridge

Visit the Natural Rock Bridge, a striking formation carved by the powerful currents of the Kicking Horse River. Over time, rushing water has sculpted the rock into a natural arch spanning the river — a remarkable example of nature’s force at work in Yoho National Park.
