	Rogers Pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pass is a shortcut across the "Big Bend" of the Columbia River from Revelstoke on the west to Donald, near Golden, on the east.
		It is formed by the headwaters of the Illecillewaet River to the west and by Beaver River to the east.
		A series of loops were used on the west side of the pass to deal with the steep hill and avoid the avalanche routes.

	SOUTH INTERIOR FLOOD WATCH
		Some small and mid-sized rivers may also experience increased flows from storm rainfall, depending on the location and intensity of the potential thunderstorm activity.
		If you are planning to be on or near a river this holiday weekend, the Ministry of Environment advises caution because water levels and velocities are high, water temperatures are cold, and rivers may be transporting debris.
		People living on or near rivers are advised to inspect their property and relocate from low-lying areas any materials and equipment that might be damaged by floodwaters.

	About the Illecillewaet Watershed - Columbia Mountains Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Illecillewaet River originates in the melt waters of the Illecillewaet Glacier in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada.
		In 1969, a dam on the Columbia River at Castlegar, B.C. impounded waters to form the Arrow Reservoir which floods the original mouth of the Illecillewaet River at full pool.
		Today, the Illecillewaet watershed's historic importance for transportation continues and is joined by a continuing importance of forest harvesting and a growing importance of all forms of mountain recreation.

	The Conquest of Canada
		Near the junction of the river, Dr. Hector was badly kicked by one of the pack horses and, with a kind of grim wit, he called the river "Kicking Horse," and the pass also received the same name.
		Among these improvements was the diversion of the Illecillewaet River, the flood waters of which had threatened the approach to the Connaught Tunnel.
		When the section was first laid, the winding Belly River had to be crossed by a number of wooden bridges, while there were curves of 818 ft. radius and gradients of 52 ft. per mile.
