About this audio guide
This guide to Morant's Curve near Lake Louise, Alberta, follows the photographer Nicholas Morant, who spent decades chasing the perfect shot of a Canadian Pacific train rounding this bend of the Bow River. You'll hear how his obsession turned an anonymous stretch of track into one of North America's most photographed railfan spots, and how the same waiting game he invented still plays out on the same concrete platform today. Listen for the distant rumble before you even see a train.
