	Kicking Horse Pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kicking Horse Pass is a mountain pass across the Continental Divide of the Canadian Rockies on the Alberta/British Columbia border, and lying within Yoho and Banff National Parks.
		The pass and the adjacent Kicking Horse River were given their names after James Hector, a naturalist, geologist, and surgeon who was a member of the expedition, was kicked by his horse while exploring the region.
		The original route of the CPR between the summit of the pass near Wapta Lake and Field was known as "The Big Hill"; with a ruling gradient of 4.5 percent it was the steepest stretch of main-line railroad in North America.

	Kicking Horse Pass
		Kicking Horse Pass, elevation 1627 m, straddles the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE on the BC-Alberta border, 10 km west of LAKE LOUISE.
		The pass was selected as the route for the transcontinental CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY, despite its severe inclines; construction was completed in 1884.
		The steep rail grades of 4.5% on the BC side of the pass were lessened to 2.2% by construction of Spiral Tunnels (1909), now a popular tourist attraction.

	The Conquest of Canada
		Near the junction of the river, Dr. Hector was badly kicked by one of the pack horses and, with a kind of grim wit, he called the river "Kicking Horse," and the pass also received the same name.
		Thus Walter Moberly discovered the pass in which, some twenty years later, the rails from the east met those coming from the west, and in which the last spike was triumphantly driven.
		Passing by Mount Robson, one of the most spectacular mountains in the Dominion, he reached Tete Jaune Cache, and turning south-cast, pursued the Canoe River valley to Kamloops.
