Pine Pass Mystery Solved by Hunter in 1877 Expedition
In 1877 Joseph Hunter, veteran surveyor and former CP railway engineer, traced a route toward Pine Pass through the Misincinka region after A.R.C. Selwyn failed to find a passage. He followed the river, mapped a lake area Azouzetta, survived harsh terrain, and planted a post near Fort McLeod after reaching east of the mountains.
