Re: Information on MU 4-38 and 4-39
There are 3 places in the province that can and do have the greatest amounts of snow. The Big Bend (Mica Dam) area including Revelstoke is one of them. FYI, the other two are the Coquihalla and Stewart areas. Long time ago, before the highway went through Rogers Pass, the way to the east was on the Big Bend. They could not keep the road open due to the great amounts of snow, so the road was closed in November and did not reopen until June. Prior to the construction of the dam and subsequent valley flooding, one could drive that way from Revelstoke to Golden. It was very scenic and not a route if you were in a hurry. Way too much to see. It's too bad that area flooded, a lot of turn of the century and Hudson Bay Company fur trading history was lost. Alas, progress!
