Roger's Pass
+ My Favorites
Reaching an elevation of 1,381 m (4,534 ft) in Glacier National Park, this sought-after passageway through the Selkirk Mountains provides a shortcut across the “Big Bend” of the Columbia River from Revelstoke to Donald (near Golden) in British Columbia.
In 1881, commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, Major A.B. Rogers made his way to the summit in search of a pass for the transcontinental rail line. The following summer, Rogers confirmed the path's existence and by 1885 the rail line through the steep pass was complete. However, it wasn't long until the CPR encountered the daunting task of protecting the line from avalanches. Following an avalanche that claimed the lives of 58 rail workers, the railway ceased operations through Roger's Pass in 1910.
Between 1956 and 1962, after 35 years of relative quiet, the Trans-Canada Highway was constructed over many of the abandoned tracks. Today, measures to drastically increase the safety of the road include five long tunnels and the cooperation of the Royal Canadian Artillery, who knock down avalanches each winter.
An attractive area to anyone interested in skiing, mountaineering and other outdoor pursuits, Roger's Pass has accommodation options, an Interpretive Centre and historical remnants of Canada's initial attempt to cross the Selkirk Mountains.

Burgess Shale

The name refers to a number of fossils found in the Walcott Quarry that date as far back as 500 million years, at a time when the town of Field would have been part of the sea floor. The site is located in the Yoho National Park.

St. Peter's Anglican Church
+ My Favorites
Also known as the Stolen Church, St. Peter's was originally built in 1887 in the town of Donald. When the church was dismantled for relocation to Revelstoke, the Kimpton family (who had moved to Windermere from Donald) successfully plotted to steal the dismantled church for rebuilding in Windermere, where it now stands. The church provides monthly worship services and is available for weddings.

Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site
+ My Favorites
Built in 1908 and now a designated historic site, the Twin Falls Tea House is a well-preserved backcountry example of early log structures in Canada’s national parks. Situated in Yoho National Park beneath the spectacular double chutes of Twin Falls in the Yoho Valley, the tea house was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway for patrons on backcountry tours and, with the exception of a second storey that was added in the 1920s, its enormous logs and rustic design remain unchanged today.
Also referred to as the Twin Falls Chalet, the tea house continues to be a popular stop for hikers and mountaineers. Today, visitors can pause for refreshments at the mountain hut or choose to stay overnight in one of its 15 basic, hostel-style beds, but the amenities, much like the structure itself, have changed little in the last century and there is no electricity or hot water.
The Twin Falls Tea House is approximately 8.5 km (5.3 mi) from the Takakkan Falls Parking Lot on the Yoho Valley Road near Fields.

Old Bauernhaus
+ My Favorites
This 350-year-old house is older than the country, province and town it now sits in. Built in Bavaria and shipped to Canada in 1989, this rustic dwelling got its start as a shelter for servants of a nearby castle. Since then, this house, which has seen the black plague and two world wars in its time, has had stints as a farmhouse, a pub and, most recently, a elegant Kimberley restaurant.
