The Canada Pacific Railway crosses the watershed of the Rocky Mountains at Hector or, as it is sometimes called, Kicking Horse Pass, and the specimens brought back by Mr. Whymper represent a district extending for some twenty miles on each side of the track, either on or west of the divide. The first group was obtained from summits lying near the railway on its southern side. Of these Mount Whyte is about three miles from it on the divide, which is crossed by Pope's Col just to the north of that summit, and about a mile to the north-east of the latter rises Mount St. Piran. About 3½ miles south of Mount Whyte, Mitre Col leads from the Lefroy to the Horseshoe glacier, between Mount Lefroy, which is on the divide, and Mitre Peak on the eastern side of it.
