Cable car crossing

Two wardens from Kootenay National Park use a cable car to cross the Kootenay River on June 3rd, 1942. The cable car was used to cross the river at Macleod Meadows before a footbridge was installed. Standing on the platform is Bob Thompson, warden from Kootenay Crossing, and in the cable car is Bert Rutherford, who was the warden for the Kaye’s Cabin area.
