Rivers born in Canada's Rockies carved passes eastward to Hudson Bay or westward to the Pacific. This pass was long used by Indians, but it was not shown on maps until the Palliser Expedition of 1860, and then only from hearsay. Michael Phillipps blazed a trail in 1873. He was the first white man to cross the Canadian Rockies from west to east through an unexplored pass.
