Publisher's Synopsis
Behind the stereotyped images of coal mines and logging camps lies the incomparable beauty of the Flathead and High Rock Ranges, which feature some of Alberta's largest 'windows' and deepest caves. The Pass is unique, for nowhere else in Alberta can the hiker combine fine scenery with so many places of historical interest. For each trail the authors document the story of the coal mines, their disasters and triumphs. There is a huge variety of trails to choose from, ranging from one hour strolls exploring old ruins to strenuous all day climbs up Turtle and Crowsnest Mountains. And then there is the authors' favourite hike to the 'Promised Land'...
