Photos of Morant's Curve
About Morant's Curve
Steeped in the nostalgia of rail travel, Morant's Curve is not just a photo location but a bridge to Canada's past. The viewpoint, a mere stone's throw from the parking, offers an unobstructed view of the Canadian Pacific Railway hugging the Bow River, all set against the Rockies' grandeur. Here, the lack of hiking trails underscores the spot’s accessibility, ensuring all visitors can capture the railway's snaking journey through the wilderness. Named after Nicholas Morant, a photographer who immortalized the railway's construction, this location exudes a historic charm. The concrete platform, complete with railings, is ideal for tripods, allowing photographers to wait for the perfect shot as trains rumble by against a backdrop of peaks like Sheol Mountain and Devils Thumb.
