altitude, cross the river to the Village View Walk and follow the trail to the flag above the Village. Climb to the border marker at the top. • The stunning Cascade Falls is a 31 m (100ft) waterfall that was once a meeting place and trading ground for Indigenous people and a great source for fishing. Until 1919, a state-of-the-art hydro project was built here, with one of the very first locations to pioneer 3-phase 60-cycle alternating current generators. This technology was based on Nikola Tesla’s revolutionary model of alternating current and it’s said this project finally settled a rivalry between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison on the AC/DC debate. Today the remnants of the old plant remain in this beautiful area. Located south of Christina Lake, just north of the Canada/ USA border. • Follow your ears towards Fisherman Creek Falls and venture on to the Fisherman Creek Tunnel and old railway bunkhouse. Located 9km on the Trans Canada Trail from Grand Forks.
