Gold Trails and Ghost Towns - The Dewdney Trail

Dewdney Trail - This trail across the Southern Interior of B.C. was the freeway to some of the richest ore bodies in the province. Princeton, Hedley, Phoenix, and Rossland sprang up along its route. The Dewdney Trail is a 720 km (450 mi) trail in British Columbia, Canada that served as a major thoroughfare in mid-19th century British Columbia. The trail was a crucial factor in the development and strengthening of the newly established British Colony of British Columbia, tying together mining camps and towns that sprang up along the route during the gold rush era prior to the colony's joining Canadian Confederation in 1871.
