Off we go!
Off we go on the ride. Here we see Lorraine with beautiful Rocky mountain scenery in the background. The first kilometre is deceptive - it is flat. After the bridge you see here (which crosses the Bow River), the highway slopes up to Vermillion pass on the continental divide. In the background is either Boom mountain or Bell Mountain (I can't tell which). In any case, they are both part of the Bow Range.
