Banff
Lake Louise

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.
