Bellevue Underground Mine
Enter the blackest dark at Bellevue's underground mine site, where several million tons of coal were extracted from the ground between the years of 1903 to 1961. The year of 1910 proved to be the most dangerous and deadly for workers, as two separate explosions killed more than 30 people. Strikes caused the mine to close periodically throughout its five decades of operations, but it remained profitable until the 1950s, when it became more viable to switch to diesel production.

Wayne - Ghost Town
A worthwhile detour from the Hoodoo Trail is the 9 km (5.4 mi) trip on Hwy 10X from Rosedale into the ghost town of Wayne. You'll cross no less than 11 one-way bridges on the road in. One of the last remaining landmarks in this coal boom-town of the 1920's and '30s is the Last Chance Saloon in the Rosedeer Hotel. This end-of-the-road establishment has changed little since 1913. |

Leitch Collieries
Leitch Collieries opened in 1907, and was the only completely Canadian-owned mine in the Pass, and was singularly ambitious in scale. Owners built 107 coke ovens, arranged in a massive row, a huge wooden washery and a tipple with a daiy capacity of 1,000 to 2,000 tons of coal. Chaotic coal prices forced the mine to close in 1915. The stone remains of the original buildings display early coal mining methods and ways of life, and interpretive displays line the trails.
