(On Anarchist Mountain, 4 miles east of Osoyoos)

A valley north and south, a sandspit eat and west – this was the crossroad of the centuries.  Down the valley of Indian trails came the laden horses of the Fur Brigade from 1824 to 1848.  Later, miners and settlers streamed northward.  Across the sandspit ran the busy Dewdney Trail to the eastern gold fields.  Routes of the past are highways of today.
