In the centre is an opening for the Nicolum river, to the right is the Silver Creek draw and beyond it the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade range. The mountzin trail over the Hope Pass is the old onc known as the Dewdney which was surveyed and partly built for twenty-five miles out of Hope, by English Sappers in 1861. It winds up the Coquihalla River for a short distance, then branches off with the Nicolum. a tributary of the former river. The way lies through Sylvan glades, past rushing waterfalls and over rustic bridges, the old dry “cribbing” of which is as firm as the day when it was laid. .

At 22 Mile there 1s another beautitul camping spot. Here there is a large cabin situated in the forest’s heart on the very banks of the Skagit river. The owner of it carries on prospecting and mining operations in the vicinity... He appropriately calls his ‘eabin ‘Defiance Camp”. and his mine..“‘The Silyer. Daisy.” From here on for many miles the scenery becomes more wonderful, if that were possible, but at the same time more wild and rugged.
