Basically, it was a route for early travellers to follow across Western Canada. \u00a0It went through our local area to the towns of Fisherville, and Fort Steele, and then on to Cranbrook in the early 1900&#8217;s. \u00a0Efforts have been made to reestablish this trail in the last number of years, and we are lucky to have a part of it so close to us. \u00a0More information can be found <a
