Rogers Pass National Historic Site
Rogers Pass National Historic Site marks the summit where the Canadian Pacific Railway crossed the Selkirk Mountains in 1885, a pivotal moment in Canada's confederation story. Located within Glacier National Park along the Trans-Canada Highway, the site encompasses ruins of the original CPR right-of-way, ancient cedar groves, and the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. For touring cyclists, it is one of the most historically resonant high-elevation waypoints on any cross-Canada journey through the Selkirks.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Secwepemcúl’ecw (Secwépemc), snʕickstx tmxʷúlaʔxʷ (Sinixt), and Syilx (Okanagan).
