Difficulty

Uneven, gravel road with wash lines. This rating is mainly for the last 100M/300Ft. to access the Look Out due to a short, narrow dirt medium-grade hill with loose rocks.

History

The Frank Slide was a catastrophic rockslide that occurred on April 29, 1903, in the Crowsnest Pass of Alberta, Canada. A massive chunk of Turtle Mountain, estimated at 82-110 million tons of limestone, slid down and buried part of the coal mining town of Frank, killing an estimated 70-100 people.
