City: Crowsnest Pass
Frank Slide Interpretive Centre
On April 29, 1903 at 4:10 a.m., 90 million tons of rock crashed from the summit of Turtle Mountain and buried part of the sleeping town of Frank.
The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre sits on a bench above the awesome carpet of rock with breathtaking views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The story of the Frank Slide and other exciting tales of early days in the Crowsnest Pass are told through interpretive and education programs, two award-winning audio-visual shows, special events and four interactive exhibit galleries. A gift shop, picnic area and walking trails with interpretive panels allow a relaxing enjoyment of the dramatic surroundings. A 1.5 km trail through the slide debris offers a self-guided exploration of the 1903 rockslide that killed more than 90 people.
