Glacier national park is centered on Rogers pass - it was formed in 1886 at the completion of the railway. It contains the Rogers pass national historic site with camping spots nearby.
Unlike the spiral tunnels in Yoho, the approach to gain elevation in Rogers pass was to use massive figure-eight looping trestle bridges, the remains of which can be seen on a short hike from the campsite.
She was in the tree keeping watch on my site:
During railway construction, the folks at CP rail found it too expensive to haul the heavy dining cars up Rogers pass, so they built Glacier lodge to feed the passengers before heading up the pass. The hotel soon attracted hikers from around the world - it operated from 1887 to 1925. Here is a shot from the early stages of the Asulkan trail which leaves from the Illecillewaet camp ground and the ruins of the Glacier hotel - there’s hours of hiking ahead.
This would be an awesome place to hang out for a few days - the parks hiking guide lists 18 day hikes which end in alpine meadows, glaciers and ridges, some of which date back to the turn of the century. Spectacular park.
