| | Crowsnest Highway |
 | | Shy Western tangers, joyful flashes of fuchsia and black, flit in the hillside brush as the Highway climbs, chopping into spurs of wildly contorted beds of quartzite and sandstone shot through with intrusions of granite and mineral-stained quartz. |
 | | Past the foot of Eagle and the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ Community Hall, the Highway begins to look distinctly urban: a couple of modern motels, a few fast-food parlours, services stations and a strip-mall or two. |
 | | At Donaldson, the Highway changes into Central Avenue and, flanked by an honour-guard of maples, lances into the heart of Grand Forks (516m) to cross the Granby River on a silvery steel through-truss bridge emplaced in 1957. |
