Craigellachie:
At this site on November 7th, 1885, the last spike was driven on the Canadian
Pacific Railway which connects east and west and plays a very important
part in B.C. and Canada's developing history. The site is located 48 km
(30 miles) west of Revelstoke.
Traveling
east visitors may stop at Three Valley Gap, the Beardale Castle Miniatureland
and the Enchanted Forest.
Revelstoke:
First settled in the 1800's by gold prospectors, the city later grew tremendously
with the building of the CPR. Interesting sights include the Revelstoke
Railway Museum, whose displays emphasize the steam era and the track's
history between the towns of Field and Kamloops. The museum is located
at 719 Track Street. Also take time to visit the Revelstoke Dam. The Visitor
Centre provides information on the dam itself, the Columbia River System
and the Revelstoke Project.
