Traveling through the Rocky Mountains one wonders of the daring of the early explorers and fur trappers and the hardships they may have had to endure for their own personal gain. We who live in this era cannot even grasp the concept of these people who lived in the Hudson Bay Company and the Northwest Company era. We have it much easier now as we travel in the comfort of our luxury vehicles making it to our destinations in only a few short hours. What takes us only days to see took the likes of David Thompson months and years to appreciate. When David Thompson saw the natural bridge on the Kicking Horse River, was it still a waterfall?
Emerald Lake is beauty to behold! Why can't I have a little cabin on the edge of this jewel?
