We are getting closer to the United States! About half way through the day, we stopped at the Hell’s Gate Tram to take a break from driving. Hell’s Gate is the name given to the narrowest part of the Kaser River, which is vital to the spawning habits of the salmon in the area. During the construction of the Canadian Railway, rocks fell into the river making the water extremely treacherous and difficult for the salmon to travel upriver. In order to save the salmon population, which the economy is so reliant on, both the United States and Canadian governments arranged for concrete structures to be placed into the water with slots allowing passage for the salmon. We took the Hell’s Gate Tram across the river and enjoyed walking around the museum and across the suspension bridge, a filming location in one of the Rambo movies.
