THE VALHALLA SOCIETY

If you still wish to still
catch the glorious golden col-
ors of the West Kootenay au-
tumn, try hiking from the
ghost town of Sandon to
Three Forks on one of B.C.’s
few developed rails-to-trails

projects.

It’s best to start at the in-
terpretive kiosk at Sandon
and drive the first two kilo-
metres on the 6ld Kaslo-Slo-
can narrow gauge railroad
grade to the start of the trail.
The level trail takes you
along three kilometres of
mountainside to the site of
the historic Payne bluffs,
with pictorial interpretive
signs to explain this locale as
well as the early Payne Mine
concentrator and the Viola

Mac Mine.

Breath-taking vistas of
surrounding mountain peaks
unfold at each bend on this
easy walk. If you wish to end
your hike at Three Forks, a
1.4-kilometre 1890's pack
trail has been rehabilitated
which takes you down from
the railroad grade to the in-
terpretive kiosk on Highway
31A,

Mountain bikes are suit-
able for only part of the K&S
Trail. Once winter snows
deepen, it is also suitable for
Nordic skiing although late
winter use is discouraged due
to minor avalanche hazards
and to avoid disturbing win-
tering moose.

When this narrow-gauge
railway first reached the sil-
ver mining town of Sandon in

1895, Colone Lowery, a local

Hiking trails allow
enjoyment of autumn

newspaper editor, wrote that
the celebration should in-
clude a fight between a rival
editor and a Florida alligator,
though “we could substitute a
big grizzly bear for an alliga-
tor, and have a bear dance.”

Rivalry was 80 bad be-
tween the CPR and the U.S.-
owned K&S Railroad that
when the latter built its new
depot in Sandon, the K&S
hooked a cable around it and
pulled it down with its loco-
motive, claiming the
was on their land.

A train ride around the
precipitous Payne bluffs was
so frightening that Lowery
wrote that “if you are nervous
you are liable, when passing
over this point, to reach for
your hair and hold it down.”

The little K&S carried
28,000 people in the first year
of operation, but snow, land-
slides and poor silver metal
markets caused problems.

The K&S Railroad historic
trail was first developed in
1984 by the Valhalla Society

Churches to focus on peace

In some of our churches to-
morrow, we shall be focusing
on peace in response to the
Canadian Council of Church-
es’ recognition of the adoption
of the Charter of the United
Nations on Oct. 24,1945.

What is the Christian con-
cept of peace, and how does it
differ, if it does, from a secular
view of peace?

The Christian concept of
peace traces its roots to the
Hebrew concept of “Shalom.”

Shalom does not translate
easily into English. It is an un-
derstanding of peace that in-

This summer, the trail and
pictorial signs were upgraded
in a cooperative effort be-

Ministry of Forests and B.C.
Heritage Trust Fund. Plexi-
glass was installed over the
signs to deter damage by
weather, bears and vandals.

mous early photograph by R.
Turman of a hissing steam lo-
