The highway is sometimes
as high as 700 feet above the lake, making for great scenery.
All of the north shore is composed of a very old
mountain range, made up of the ancient granites of the Canadian
Shield.
The first railroad across Canada (the Canadian
Pacific Railroad), seen here below, ran along the north shore.
Of the entire cross-country line it was the most difficult and
expensive section to build, because of the ruggedness of the north
shore terrain.
