PROJECT: WP-Scenic Overlooks LOCATION: Dawson Lake just off Country Road 34, 10 miles northeast of Bonners Ferry, Idaho in the Idaho Panhandle NOTES: When gold was discovered in the East Kootenays of British Columbia in 1863, thousands of prospectors from all over the West surged northward over a route that became known as the Wildhorse Trail. Edwin Bonner, a merchant from Walla Walla, Washington, established a ferry in 1864 where the trail crossed the broad Kootenai River. In 1875, Richard Fry, and his Sinixt wife, Justine Su-steel Fry, leased the business, but the location retained the name of the original founder and later became the town of Bonners Ferry. @yonderjournal ===>Check you my site here or in my bio for survial guide tips and tricks: https://www.intothejungle.org --------------------------------------------------- via Instagram
