ALBERT CANYON
Is a ghost town and Canadian Pacific Railway station, located 36 kilometers east of Revelstoke along the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway #1). Albert Canyon became a service center for miners working on the northern side of the Illecillewaet River in the late 1890s. Albert L. Rogers whom the town is named after, helped his uncle A.B. Rogers, a survey engineer find a route on the railway via the Selkirk Mountains. Despite being a ghost town, it does a have a mineral pool, campground, and a trading post. Albert Canyon is not far from Three Valley Gap, which is another ghost town, from the 1890s railway era and is more appealing as a tourist attraction than Albert Canyon.
