Description
The power of the water of the Kicking Horse River at Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park (British Columbia, Canada) is truly amazing. If you look just a little upstream from here there is only a hint of the power to come as the water moves swiftly but quietly. But at the point I am standing, the water begins to churn and move wildly towards the falls in the small break in the center of the rocks. Somehow I always let my imagination run away with me and think about what it would be like falling in the river or being in a boat drawn too close to the falls. I imagine at the least I'd be saying the same thing that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid said as they jumped off the cliff! Raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about! Natural Bridge is an impressive natural rock formation that spans the flow of the Kicking Horse River west of the town of Field, where the slower-moving waters from the Field valley flats begin their descent through a canyon to be joined by the Amiskwi River. Sculpted by the erosive forces of rushing water over what had once been a waterfall, the Natural Bridge is a powerful reminder of how much influence water has in shaping the landscape. Softer rock found below the Natural Bridge's hard limestone band eroded more quickly, and fissures in the rock widened until the flow of water was diverted below the outcrop. You can see the pedestrian bridge over the river that gives you a full view of the rock formation. The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho along with three provincial parks comprise a UNESCO World Heritage site.
