Three Valley Gap

There is a spooky place between Three Valley Lake and the Monashee Mountains near Revelstoke, in the Interior of BC. It is off of the Trans-Canada Highway, and the name of it is Three Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town. The Bell family has restored these buildings and ghost town to allow you to see what it was like back in the pioneer days of the 1800's. Gold fever hit this area in 1862, but it didn't last long, and the buildings and towns were eventually abandoned.

This float has been in the Calgary Stampede, but I don't know how many years.

 My husband thought it would be fun to have his picture taken in this Saloon.

This is the original roundhouse and it still has some trains in it. It houses the museum now.




It is whispered around that there may be a ghost or two lingering around the ghost town. Maybe if you are real quiet, you can see one.
