Coal-Mining History
Several scenic and historic sights lie across the Bow River from downtown, including the
remains of various mining operations. To get there, walk south along 8th Avenue for 500
meters (0.3 mile) to the Bow River. With a pedestrian-only bridge and paved paths on both
sides of the river leading in either direction, this is a good point to stop and get oriented. A
pleasant loop can be made by walking north and crossing the river at the old
CPR trestle
bridge,
which once served local mines. Follow the trail back downstream, past the
Mine
Shareholders' Cabin,
a log structure built in 1914.
