The river was named in 1858 , when James Hector , a member of the Palliser Expedition , was kicked by his packhorse while exploring the river. Hector survived and named the river and a Pass as a result of the incident. The Kicking Horse Pass was the route through the mountains subsequently taken by the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was constructed during the 1880s . |
