Its beauty is most dramatically presented as one travels west from the plains. Folding, faulting and erosion has resulted in a an abrupt change of the landscape as the Livingstone, Flathead and Clark Ranges rise to greet the visitor. In the short distance from Lundbreck in the east, to Crowsnest on the Alberta-British Columbia border the land quickly changes from foothill ranching country to alpine cirques and rocky promontories. The effect of our not so gentle west winds are evident on the Burmis tree and other limber pine on the ridges east of Passburg.</p> <p>Crowsnest Pass Historical Society<br>Post Office Box 280<br>Coleman, Alberta.<br>T0K 0M0<br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.telusplanet.net/public/cnmuseum/index.htm">Website</a>',0))

Geographically remote, the region developed a politics and culture that were unique in Canada.

Yet the economy, politics and social structure of the region have always set it apart from its neighbours in Alberta, the United States and the rest of British Columbia. As a result, the often unique historical experience of the area is usually neglected by writers of B.C. history.</p> <p>Plateau Press<br>5-3160 West 4th Avenue<br>Vancouver, B.C.<br>V6K 1R7<br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.plateaupress.com/">Website</a>',0))

Although famous for its ancient past, the Valley has a recent history that is much more relevant than dinosaurs to the area\'s residents. This history, of course, is the human history of the Valley.
