A viewpoint from Skihist Provincial Park provides a great look at what Canadian Pacific and Canadian National have to deal with in this rugged part of the Thompson River Canyon. Providing a great example on the other side of the Thompson River of “In places like this, man sees his true size,” is a CN work train loading fallen rock into Difco dump cars in a never-ending battle with mother nature through this unforgiving piece of railroad between Morris and Lasha, east of Lytton, British Columbia, on September 25, 2015.
Given the seasons for freeze-thaw cycles, the typhoon months from May through October, and the seismic activity of intersecting tectonic plates and volcanoes, it is not surprising that rocks large and small that lie on the mountainside can be set in motion. In this photo the large rock wedged itself very near the walking trail.
