Documentary. Traces the pack-trail which once linked the Kootenay gold fields with the west coast, from Fort Hope to Fort Steele. Includes footage of the closing down of Camp McKinney gold mine; site of Fort Shepherd HBC post; Waneta Dam; St. Eugene Mission Church, and the cemetery at trail's end, Wild Horse Creek. One striking sequence shows the deserted streets and buildings of Fort Steele prior to its restoration.
