Another shot of Kakabeka Falls. Note that the flow is being moderated by dams upstream, to a small fraction of what you would normally get during spring run-off. (We weren't there during spring run-off, but photos indicated just how impressive it has been when the dams have let more water over the falls.) Wolseley used Voyageur guides to help get troops past these to fight in the North-West Rebellion. (The more southerly, and rather easier route, was neglectfully negotiated away to the USA in the late 18th century.) Having seen what they did with this (miserable, painful, long) portage, he would then call for them when trying to get the British expeditionary force to Khartoum to save Gordon.
