(22 miles east of Hope)

A bold venture, this trail crossed the mountains of southern BC, and kept the wealth of a new land from flowing to the USA.  Planned by the Royal Engineers, and built in 1860-61 by Edgar Dewdney, a young engineer, it led over the mountains to Princeton.  After completion to the Rockies in 1865 it served for 25 years as a vital route to the Coast.
