Road Trip #5 - Trans-Canada Highway

A painting by Susi Havens-Bezaire completed on August 15, 2013

This tight opening is only a few km from the park gate and is the start of a steep up hill climb of Redstreak mountain. The colorful rocks include rust, browns, and ochre to make an interesting composition. We camped in Redstreak campground - about 2 miles from this spot. I had about 4 feet between the rock face and concrete road barriers, with many lumbering trucks and cars rushing down the mountain.
