Mystery, Intrigue and Hardship
These were the ingredients of the Alaska Highway that
changed the north forever and shaped the people of
Dawson Creek forever. The stories today are as enduring as
the highway itself.
Check out the boney fingered man standing right in the
middle of Dawson Creek’s main traffic circle. His ghostly
statue points northwest where more than seventy years
ago, a surveyor planted and pointed his transit in the same
direction. This location marked the beginning of one of the
world’s largest and hardest construction jobs in 1942.
Built for War
The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 forced the
American and Canadian governments to re-evaluate the
security of North America. They needed a secure supply
route to haul military goods and materials from the lower
states to Alaska and it had to be completed in less than
one year. The story of the men, the equipment, and their
triumphs over nature to open the northern passage is as
legendary as the men who risked their lives to build the
highway.

the Alaska Highway House,
Dawson Creek’s main attraction,

QUICK FACTS
In the spring of 1942, the peaceful agricultural town
of Dawson Creek was home to 600 people. Their
connection to the bigger world was by rail. Arriving
from the south, this provided transportation for the
grains and cargo that sustained the community.
Then, without warning, this quiet small town burst at
the seams, literally overnight! US troops and Canadian
civilians began arriving with their equipment, supplies
and plans for the construction of the highway. In a
matter of weeks, the town’s population swelled to
10,000! There were soldiers and equipment and noise
and mud everywhere! The people of Dawson Creek
never looked back; their future was being constructed
right before their very eyes.
Punching through 1500 miles (2414 km) of Canada’s
most untamed wilderness, the construction plans for
the Alaska Highway were astonishing.
Even with today’s equipment, the project would
be challenging. But in 1942 the harsh climate, crude
equipment and hardships of the land made the reality
and scope of the project unbelievable.
Permafrost, muskeg, mosquitoes, gnats and extreme
cold were common problems. In the summer months,
the insects were so horrific that the men wore netting at
all times.
In one of the earliest and coldest autumns ever
recorded, the heavy equipment took a beating. Harsh
temperatures of -70 Fahrenheit, froze lubricants, seized
transmissions, and snapped axles. Equipment had to be
kept running 24 hours a day, shutting them off was out
of the question.
The combination of brutal cold weather and the
scarcity of spare parts meant many vehicles were
abandoned and left to the elements where they broke
down. For environmental reasons, today most wrecks
have been removed, but there are still collections of
antique heavy equipment to be explored along the
highway. The ’Must See’ collection of these relics is in
the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum, 282 miles/454 km
north of Dawson Creek.
The cold temperatures not only froze the equipment,
it brutalized the men too. There were many instances of
frostbite that year and several deaths were attributed to
the freezing cold.
Yet, in a little over 8 months of grueling construction,
the Alaska Highway was completed. On November 20,
1942, Mile 1061 (known as Soldier’s Summit) celebrated
the official opening of the “Alcan” Highway with a
ribbon cutting ceremony.
If you love history and construction and are curious
about the men who built the highway, or if you have
put your feet in THEIR BOOTS!

kiskatinaw
BRIDGE
A short drive north of Dawson
Creek (15 miles, 25 kms) and
just off the Alaska Highway, is
the beautiful wooden curved
Kiskatinaw River Bridge. As you
wind your way into the valley,
watch for the unmarked roadside
pull off on the north side of the
river where you get a great view of
the bridge.
The bridge is a marvel of
engineering that took as long to
build as the whole Alaska Highway.
It is still load bearing and can be
easily driven or walked across.
The provincial park on the south
side of the river is a great place to
appreciate the bridge construction.
kiskatinaw bridge
QUICK FACTS

With 28 campsites, there’s plenty
of room to overnight, hike the
heights of the riverbanks or enjoy
an evening of fishing in this tranquil
natural spot.
The bridge was destroyed early in construction
by ice jams that broke loose and crushed it.
More than 100 men worked to build the bridge
“Kiskatinaw” means “Cutbank” in Cree, one of
the local Aboriginal languages.
During construction, a workman slipped and
fell to his death on the ice below
Approximately 500,000 board feet of
creosoted British Columbia fir was used in the
construction, shipped from coastal BC.
A new bridge that bypassed the old Kiskatinaw
Curved Wooden Bridge was built in 1978 when
the highway was straightened.

landmarks & ATTRACTIONS
The Mile 0 Post:
A WORLD FAMOUS ICON
A
must do, as you prepare to
head north or leave the Alaska
Highway heading south, is
have your photo taken at the
Mile 0 Post in the center of
Dawson Creek. This world famous icon has
been photographed with countless visitors
and locals and been the object of many pranks
over the years.
Want to be in the photo yourself? Pop into the
Alaska Highway House and ask the staff to help. They
will see you safely cross the street take your photo with
your camera.
There have been three Mile 0 Posts over the years
with the first being destroyed by a drunk driver, and the
second the object of many pranks and kidnappings. The
post you will see was installed in the 1980s and is made
of steel and fly’s the flags of our nation, our province
and our community.
When you are standing at the Milepost you are in
the heart of Dawson Creek, and by using your Historic
Walking Tour Map to guide you down memory lane you
can stroll back in time. Keep vigilant in your walk and
you will see buildings decorated with hand painted
murals depicting the story of Dawson Creek since the
Highway was completed in 1942. You’ll find interesting
boutique shops, great coffee, eateries and displays of
local art in many store windows.
.
Northern Alberta
Railway (NAR) Park
No matter how you travel to Dawson Creek, all
roads lead to the Northern Alberta Railway Park with
its collection of historic buildings, museum, Visitor
Centre, Art Gallery and ample parking for recreational
vehicles.
The NAR Park, as locals call it, is named for the railroad
company that brought rail to Dawson Creek in 1931.
This is where it all begins! The Visitor Centre, housed in
the original railway station house, shares space with the
Museum and has all the information you will need for
your trip up the highway. Or if you’ve just driven in from
the north, the knowledgeable staff can help you plan
your journey south.
Walk next door to the Art Gallery in the grain elevator.
It’s the only building of its kind in the world. Check it
out to find out why! And of course, just to the east of
the Gallery, you’ll want a photo of the Alaska Highway
Cairn. It marks the beginning of your journey north.
There is plenty of free large vehicle parking, free
Internet access and public washrooms. A two minute
walk takes you to the Alaska Highway House and the
Mile Zero Post. Don’t forget to stop for a home-made
meal or a fresh baked treat and a cup of coffee at any of
the local eateries, then carry on to enjoy the boutique
shops and hand-painted murals around town.

that marks the beginning of the Alaska Highway. Stand on

they plotted the route the highway would take. All mileage
along the Alaska Highway route is measured from this very
spot. More than one million travelers have had their photo
taken at the cairn so don’t miss your opportunity.

Surveyor
STATUE
A tribute to the tens of thousands of men (yes,
tens of thousands!) who arrived in Dawson Creek in
the spring of 1942 to build the Alaska Highway, the Iron
Surveyor statue stands as a reminder of the amazing
feat and of those who lost their lives in the effort.
Standing above the traffic circle that leads you onto
the famous highway, the surveyor points northwest
along the path that became first a mud track and
finally the paved highway you will travel today.
Created by local sculptor, Karl Mattson, whose
family has ranched in the region for generations, the
statue is welded from scrap metal from local farms.
The clothing and surveyor’s transit are true to the
style of the 1940s.
Railway
Station Museum
All Aboard! Step into the Railway Station Museum and
walk in the footsteps of the US soldiers who arrived in
the cold spring of 1942 to build the Alaska Highway.
Tour the stationmaster’s quarters for a glimpse into the
lifestyle that began when the rail arrived in 1931. And
don’t miss the natural history museum that includes
artifacts from the First Nations who lived here before
European settlers arrived.
The museum has a small theatre where you will sit
and watch a one hour movie about the construction of
the Alaska Highway.
Dawson Creek was a tiny agricultural community
when the railroad arrived to help deliver the finest grain
and largest harvests in the Commonwealth from the
prairies of the Peace River Region to markets overseas.
When WWII began, there were still only a few hundred
people calling Dawson Creek home. Between March
and May of 1942, tens of thousands of troops stepped
off the train and hiked west to the tent city that was
the staging ground for the construction of the highway.
Overnight, Dawson Creek was on the map!
The track behind the station is still in use, shipping
grain from the region, but no longer taking passengers.
Operated and maintained by the volunteers of the South
Peace Historical Society, the Museum is open year round.
Admission is by donation. Bus and Tour Groups
are welcome. We are wheelchair accessible for your
convenience.

Regional Airport
”
Once the grain capital of North America (in the 1930s),
Dawson Creek boasted 11 elevators dating back to the
1920s. Lined majestically along what became Alaska
Avenue, by 1984, only one elevator remained and it was
slated for demolition.
That is until a group of visionary artists and one
willing architect came up with a radical idea to preserve
it. In a matter of weeks, the group had purchased the
elevator, found land to relocate it and managed the
move from the elevator from the west end of town
to the east where it now stands in the NAR (Northern
Alberta Railway) Park. This is all the more astonishing
when you realize the combined weight of the elevator,
the tallest building to the west, plus the annex, that
houses the gallery, is 750,000 lbs!
Dawson Creek’s iconic skyline structure is a one-ofa-kind art gallery. Stroll the ramp that spirals up and
around the interior walls to view the art on display.
History buffs will want to take the stairs down to see
the vintage photographs that tell the story of the
construction of the highway.
You won’t want to miss The Grainery Gift Shop located
in the main gallery space either. Original works of art,
high quality locally made crafts and highway souvenirs
are on sale. Come on in, take a stroll up the 3-storey
ramp, enjoy the art, the building and a pleasant browse
through the gift shop.
Admission by donation. Bus and Tour groups welcome
and we are wheelchair accessible.
Alaska Highway House
“Brutal, harsh and unimaginable.”
– This is how the soldiers/builders
described conditions on the Alaska
Highway construction project.
A stroll through Alaska Highway House will
take you back to the 1940s and the life of the
soldiers and civilians who worked to build the
highway in nine very intense months. Their
stories are told through first-hand accounts,
film, music and replicas of the equipment
that was used. Enjoy tunes from the era,
climb into an actual 40s era military jeep
and step into the Quonset hut where
meals were served and soldiers warmed
up at the end of the long hard days.
Don’t miss the powerful and emotional
one hour-long PBS film about the
construction of the highway.
The interactive exhibits are
designed to give you a glimpse
into the hardships and challenges
experienced by the crews.
Hum along to those favorite old 40s era
tunes.
Try to imagine minus 60 degrees
Fahrenheit (-50 C) then imagine living in
a tent with just a barrel stove for heat!
Or brush your hand across the coarse woolen
army issue clothing — pretty rough.
Find out what a corduroy road is, what it
looks like and what it was used for.
Have a close look at the construction details
on the scale model of the famous Kiskatinaw
Curved Wooden Bridge.
Hear the Alaska Highway Opening Ceremonies
taking place at Contact Creek at the completion
of the highway.
Pick up a free collectors pin to remind you of
your history moment.
Photos are encouraged so climb
aboard that jeep and get a shot for
the folks at home. At a minimum,
you’ll want 30 minutes to take it all
in, but to really enjoy and absorb
the experience, allow an hour and a
half in the Alaska Highway House.
“This is a definite
must-see if you want to
learn about the building
of the highway and get a
kick-start on the Alaska
Highway.

If you love history, you’ll love Pioneer Village. Pick up a
copy of the self-guided walking tour, step through the

and times of our agricultural community. A time when a
living was made from the land, milk came in glass bottles
(or straight from the cow), clothes were dried outside on
a line and meals were cooked on a wood stove.
Wander through the village of original buildings at
your own pace. From a time long before the highway,
most of the buildings even pre-date the railroad that
came through in 1931. Each building is appointed with
furnishings from the era and there is an impressive
collection of vintage cars, trucks and farm equipment
as well as an old smithy and shoeing shop. There’s a real
harmonium you can play and the old school house has
original wooden desks and chalkboards, something you
just don’t see anymore. Beautiful gardens maintained by
local volunteers, large old shade trees and a boardwalk
— Pioneer Village is a pleasant way to spend a couple
of hours taking in the reality of life at the turn of the last

Downtown Historic
Self-Guided Walking Tour
Stretch your legs, shop and stop for lunch as you
take in the history of Dawson Creek on the self-guided
Historic Walking Tour. The free map brochure —
available at the Visitor Centre, the Art Gallery and Alaska
Highway House — takes you on an educational stroll
through downtown. Each landmark tells a particular
story about our city; our agricultural roots, the local
wildlife, the construction of the Alaska Highway, the
accidents and adventures that make up our unique
history, as told through the landmarks, murals, statues
and historic photographs that grace the downtown
buildings.
Stop in to enjoy
traditional meats,
fresh from the smoker, as
well as housemade soups
and breads, all served up
Canadian style, in a
restored historic
1940’s setting.
“There are so
many wonderful murals

Among the largest wind turbines in the world
with a generating capacity of 3 mega watts,
each turbine stands 255 feet (78 metres) tall at
the hub.
Just 20 minutes from town, a trip to the park is
an enjoyable half-day of hiking with spectacular

Villages, pubs and a brush
with the birds
There are rewards for those who step off the beaten path.
Glorious prairie landscapes, quaint villages, small pubs
full of local colour and colourful locals, a world-class
bird sanctuary and more; and all within minutes of
Dawson Creek. Plan to spend a day on our Meet the
Neighbours Tour. It will take you places only the
locals know, places you will remember!
Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes
or a pair of boots if it’s been raining — our
prairie mud is famous. And don’t forget your
binoculars and camera. The driving tour
showcases special places where owners
and locals are always up for a chat and
know the area inside and out.

Pouce Coupe — What a Curious Name.
Be sure to pronounce it Pooce Coopy the way we do.
Just 5 minutes drive southeast of Dawson Creek is the
village of Pouce Coupe, a small town with a huge
history. Stop first at the Visitor Centre and Museum
on the main street. The staff know their history and it
predates the Alaska Highway by many decades to the
days of the very earliest pioneers and beyond. Make
sure you ask how the village got its name and grab a
copy of the self-guided Historic Walking Tour.
Head for the original 1930 Wooden Train Trestle.
Smell the creosote and imagine the old steam engines
rumbling over high above the Bissette River below.
You’ll be impressed by the sheer size of it. And it’s a
must see before you head north on the Alaska Highway
to the famous Kiskatinaw Bridge.
At the historic Hart Hotel, built in 1928 and still
in use to this day, you can find out more interesting
details about the village history and enjoy a
refreshing beverage. Get your camera ready to
photograph the life-sized wooden figures around the
pub and find out about the locals they represent —
sort of our local version of having a statue dedicated
to you but no big donation required. You’ll meet
George. He’s made of wood and has occupied the
seat in the middle of the bar for many years now. He’s
actually a local horseman who’s been known to ride
into town and stop at the Hart for a beer. He and some
buddies rode their horses right into the bar one night.
If you don’t believe it, there’s a photo that proves it.
The Hart Hotel is open seven days a week so you can
stop in anytime.
Ready to Roll Again?
As you leave Pouce, drive north
on Highway 2 and watch for the
right-hand turn on to the Rolla/
Spirit River Road. You’ll snake
your way down and up out of
the “Snake Pit” as the locals call
it, actually the Dawson Creek,
and back up onto the Rolla
Prairie. Welcome to grain country!
The Peace River Country was built
on agriculture. The primary crops
these days are canola for oil, wheat for
bread and hay for livestock. The view to the east
reaches all the way to the Alberta border.
Your next stop is McQueen’s Slough. Watch for
24
a small blue sign with a pair of
binoculars on it on the right
hand side of the road and
prepare to turn at the next
entrance on your left. Operated
and maintained by Ducks
Unlimited, this wetland is home
to thousands of birds. A bird
watchers paradise and a special
treat for ornithologists, you should
find many species to check off your Life
List. There’s a half-mile boardwalk for safe
walking and viewing platforms where you can set
up your tripod or relax and watch Nature’s show. On-site
signage illustrates the different species.
Village of
Pouce Coupe
gateway to the
peace country
The Village of Pouce Coupe is a quaint historical Village, located in the northeast corner of British Columbia.
Also know as the “Pioneer Capitol of the Peace Region”, the amenities are all within walking distance and
visitors are encouraged to take time to stroll through the Village with a self-guided walking tour booklet. This
friendly Village is nestled north of the Pouce Coupe River amongst golden fields of grain.

Pouce Coupe Park
A Piece of Recreation
July 1st
Canada Day Celebration
Truck Light-up Parade
and Food Drive
The Pouce Coupe Museum offers
visitors a chance to journey back
to a period long ago, with
permanent displays from the very
founding of the village, including a
heritage house, trapper’s cabin,
caboose, and the original
Northern Alberta Railway Station
built in the 1930’s, which now
houses the museum. The majestic
wooden train trestle whispers its
stories through the cracks of time,
located a short walking distance
from the museum.
The Pouce Coupe Park keeps its
promise as a place to visit
in luxury. The green wonderland
is speckled with BBQ pits
tempting the mind with visions of
juicy burgers and warm summer
songs. Sheltering those that
require it is a covered cookhouse,
lending itself for family reunions.
All that enter the Pouce Park have
picnic tables, washrooms, coin
showers, and a bandstand. For
those that are in need there are
RV electrical hookups.
Rich with tradition, Pouce Coupe
holds its annual July 1st
Celebration with the enthusiasm
bringing the historical village to
life. This celebration brings
laughter and full stomachs to all
who volunteer or attend the
annual parade and the famous
BBQ. After all the festivities,
magnificent fireworks sends
all home with smiles and
lasting memories.
Recently added, the Truck Light
Parade utilizes the local
businesses to put on a show in the
dark winter night. Cozy fire pits
blaze just waiting for a hot dog or
marshmallow to roast and the
sound of fun and delight waft
through the chill air. The loop of
the Town Square is illuminated by
twinkling lights which swath the
h o s t o f t r u c k s . Pe o p l e a r e
encouraged to bring nonperishable items to the event
or weeks prior to celebrate a time
of giving.
Taking a page out of history,
the Hart Hotel which opened in
1928 still operates with its old
world charm.
Pouce Coupe is best known in the
Peace River block as being the
first municipality in northeastern
British Columbia; it was the center
for Government offices, post
office, bank and the police
barracks for the region.

Back on the road, heading north, your next stop is the Rolla Pub, constructed in 1920 in
the hamlet of Rolla was once the largest town in the region. Patty, a dedicated historian and
storyteller will greet you with a warm, smiling welcome. Grab a drink and step back in history.
Every square inch of the walls and ceiling is covered with photographs, art and collectables you
won’t see anywhere else! It’s more like a private and very eclectic museum and Patty is your host
with the history, her love and passion. In the evenings there’s always a group of locals and a game
of shuffleboard going on. If there’s no live band, the jukebox will be playing and you can share a
table with the locals and catch up on the news from around. The Pub is open Tuesday
to Thursday from 11 am to midnight and Friday and
Saturday from 11 am to 1 am

Last Stop — the Rolla Pub, truly an experience

planning TIPS
Travel Distances:
Time to Enjoy:
Dawson Creek to Pouce Coupe: 6 miles
(10 kms), approximately 5 minutes.
Pouce Coupe to McQueen’s Slough: 4 miles
(6 kms), approximately 4 minutes.
McQueen’s Slough to The Rolla Pub: 0.6 miles
(1 km), a short jaunt over the prairie.
For a different route back to Dawson Creek,
head to Fort St. John, 70 miles (112 kms) from
Rolla. Take the Sweetwater Road just south of
the Pub west to the Alaska Highway (Hwy 97N)
and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Alternatively, you can get to Fort St. John by
continuing north from Rolla on the Rolla Road
to the Clayhurst Bridge Crossing at the Peace
River and then east along Cecil Lake Road.
There is a lot of gravel on this route but it’s a
beautiful scenic drive.
Here are some time estimates that will help you
plan your tour. And if you can’t fit it all in on one
day, we’d love to have you stay longer!
Pouce Coupe Self-Guided Walking Tour: 30
minutes to an hour.
Pouce Coupe Museum: History buffs, military
and ex-military could spend hours here
reading, listening and learning. A quick peak
around will take you about 15 minutes.
McQueen’s Slough: Another place to linger
— for a couple of hours or more — but 30
minutes will give you a chance to stretch your
legs and soak up some fresh prairie air.
The Rolla Pub: Stop for a quick drink or settle
in for a chat with Patty. And don’t forget to
take your photo under the sign!

enjoy the wilderness
SAFETY TIPS
Driving Where the Wildlife Are
One of the delights of travelling the Alaska
Highway through vast stretches of wilderness
country is the chance to see wildlife along the
way. But caution is necessary, for your safety
and for theirs.
Any time you’re on the road, watch for wildlife on
or beside the road, especially at dawn and dusk
when it’s hard to see them.
Collisions with a wild animal can result in serious
vehicle damage and personal injury as well as
harm and likely death to the animal.
Obey posted speed limits and the yellow wildlife
warning signs. And pay attention to the ditches
and verges along the roadside where animals tend
to browse.
Use high beams at night where possible and
watch for the glow of the animals’ eyes.
Make sure your cell is charged as you travel
between towns and if you encounter an accident,
please take pictures of the accident scene.
Check at the local Visitor Centre to find out where
you may lose cell reception on the highways and
side roads.
.
Bear Safety
28
Bears are the alpha predators at the top of the
animal food chain. You are a visitor in their home
so please respect them! The best rule of thumb is:
Keep Your Distance, and chances are so will they.
Don’t approach a bear to try for a better photo.
You especially want to keep well away from
females with cubs. Like all mothers, they will
defend their young aggressively if they think you
are a threat.
Never attempt to feed a bear. Sadly, bears that
have been fed by humans lose their natural
instinct to stay away and end up being killed to
prevent the risk of aggressive encounters.
If you encounter a bear, make noise to let the bear
know where you are. It’s a good idea to carry a bell
or some other way to make a loud noise.
Give bears a very wide berth. They may look
clumsy but they can run much faster than
you, both up and down hills.
Store all food in your vehicle or a bear
proof cache, never in your tent.
Take all garbage with you.
Don’t forget your zoom lens — the best
tool with which to capture a bear.
Visitor Centre: Get all the information you will
need and let us help you map out your stay
in Dawson Creek and travels along the Alaska
Highway. This is also the best shop for clothing,
books and souvenirs.
Train Station Museum: Take a peek into the
days of the pioneers and the wartime history of
Dawson Creek. Lovingly tended by the Historical
Society who is always collecting new old stuff,
you’ll want 45 to 60 minutes to take it all in.
Grain Elevator Art Gallery: This one-of-a-kind
art gallery is built inside a renovated 1930s grain
elevator! There is always art to see in the main
gallery and the stair well is a photo gallery/history
tour of the highway construction. The gift shop
features artisan originals. You’ll want to spend
about 60 minutes.
Mile 0 Cairn: It’s just past the Art Gallery, and
a must-do to take your photo on the exact spot
from which all mileage on the Alaska Highway is
measured.
Self-Guided Historic Walking Tour: Pick up your
walking tour guide from the Visitor Centre and
take an hour or two to follow the photo panels
that tell the story of the people and places, past
and present, of Dawson Creek. With QR codes
you can scan with your smart phone to hear what
SimonSees.com has to say on YouTube.
Alaska Highway House: Relax in the film hut
as you absorb the epic story of the highway
construction, learn about the lives of the crews and
then send a personalized e-postcard to the folks at
home. Give yourself at least an hour and a half.
Mile 0 Post: Join the tens of thousands of
members of the Mile 0 Club and have your photo
taken with one of the most recognized monuments
in the world. Stop by Alaska Highway House to pick
up your personalized Mile 0 Post certificate.
Trek and Taste: For a bit of
retail therapy or to fill that gap
with something fresh baked
and delicious, shop downtown
Dawson Creek with its unique
boutique stores and eateries.

Walking Trail: Work out the travel
kinks and enjoy some green park
space with a power walk or stroll
along the 3-mile (5-kilometre) walking
trail that follows Dawson Creek as it
meanders through town.
Outdoor Fitness Park: Enjoy the fresh
air as you get in a work out on the stateof-the-art fitness machines located on the
Walking Trail. It’s free, it’s fun and there’s lots
of parking if you want to drive.
Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre: A beautiful space
to get in your laps or enjoy hours of leisure in
the pools, steam room, sauna and hot tub, this
is a wonderful place for the seriously athletic
or the family group. And the Centre also boasts
a climbing wall and walking track so there’s
something for everyone here.
Walter Wright Pioneer Village: Explore freely
through the village of historical buildings
loaded with authentic artifacts. Pick up your
complimentary walking tour map at the Village
office, the Visitor Centre or Alaska Highway House.
You’ll want to spend 45 to 90 minutes here.
Bear Mountain Wind Park: A short drive from
town will bring you to the base of the 34 massive
wind towers. There’s pleasant hiking along the
Rim Rock Trail with spectacular views across the
Peace Country landscape to the Rocky Mountains.
Pick up your map and information brochure at
the Visitor Centre. Allow about 20 minutes for the
drive and as long as you like to enjoy the fresh air
and marvelous views.
