To the north/northwest, passengers will see the peaks of the Victoria Cross Range—so named because six of the peaks are named after Canadian recipients of the Victoria Cross. Mount McKean () and Mount Zengel () are two such mountains that can be seen from the train. Looking southward (across the river), there is the Colin Range. Hawk Mountain (), Roche Bonhomme (), and Morro Peak () are among the peaks in this range that can be seen. English is the top of the grade, after which the train descends into the Athabasca Valley, passing Henry House. The Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) continues to parallel the route.
