Crooked Tree

Crooked Tree is a town in Belize District, Belize.

Get in
Crooked Tree is about halfway between Belize City and Orange Walk on the Northern Highway. The exit is well marked. You will leave the surfaced road for the packed dirt road of the causeway that leads to the village. The distance is about 2-3 miles.

You can also take buses between Belize city and Orange Walk and get off at the Crooked Tree stop. You will then have to walk into town.

Get around
The roads in the village are sandy and hard to drive in good conditions and awful in heavy rain, which is not uncommon. Unless you have a 4WD vehicle leave your car at the entrance to the village near the causeway and walk.

See
There is a visitor centre as you enter the village right after the causeway. Be sure to stop in to get information on the local goings on.

The Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is open daily and is US$8. Where "it" is a bit hard to define but the village proper sits within the Sanctuary.

Crooked Tree's main feature is birdwatching. The village sits off an inland lagoon and there are hundreds of species of exotic birds to be seen with almost no effort. Local guides can take you to the best spots to see the highest variety. The highlight is the Jabiru stork which is the largest flying bird in the Americas.

You can also do some boating about the lagoon. Rental prices can be high but the views are generally excellent and afford you the opportunity to see even more of the bird species. Again, local guides are available.

Chau Hiix is a Myan site that is being excavated. It is about a three-hour canoe to trip each way from the village. When they are about, usually the dry season, on-site archealogists can give you a tour.

Do

 * During the first week of May, Crooked Tree has the annual Cashew Festival. the village grows a lot of cashews and during this festival to mark the start of harvest they put on quite a show. Cashews are turned into a variety of products including juice, jelly, and cakes.

Eat

 * Bird's Eye View Lodge offers home cooked meals, you will eat in the kitchen, for US$10-$12. There is no menu selection you will get some sort of chicken or fish dusted with a local spice mix with fried plantains, rice and black beans typically. Very hearty and good.

 * Crooked Tree Lodge has a restaurant with a friendly and family feel. They cater mainly for their guests, but if you're not staying with them, you can call Mick or Angie (626 3820 or 623 5035) or just show up and book in for a meal. Prices are very reasonable at US$10 for breakfast and lunch, and dinner is US$15. Lodge speciality meals include barbecue roast topside of beef, tilapia and shrimp bake in spicy sweet sauce, rotisserie roast chicken, and fresh salads served with grilled fish or chicken.

Drink
The patio on the roof of the Bird's Eye View Lodge is an excellent place to take in a drink and to watch the wildlife on the lagoon as the sun sets.

Cross country skiing

Cross country skiing is an efficient way of travelling long distances across snow. The skis are narrower than downhill and slalom skis, and the poles are longer to increase propulsion. Cross country is possible in groomed trails or in untouched snow, the latter often referred to as ski touring or back country skiing. For the recreational skier there is no clear distinction between these styles of skiing.

Skis to go outside of the tracks tend to be a bit wider than the skis you use in tracks, to help you to float better in the snow outside of the tracks. Boots for back country skiing are usually made of leather and boots for groomed trails are usually made of synthetic flexible fabric. Unlike alpine skiing, boots are attached only at the toe and not at the heel.

Cross country skiing is a good exercise for the whole body and as intense cardio training is an alternative to jogging. Cross country can also be variation at a ski resort or as a means to get to the true wilderness in wintertime.

Understand

Cross country skiing is the original form of skiing and was developed as a common mode of transport in Northern Europe. For many people in the Nordic Countries, "skiing" still means cross country skiing and is widely practiced for exercise or recreation. The word "ski" originates from Old Norwegian and is still used in the wide original meaning – a piece of wood. Unlike in English it is not a verb in Norwegian, only a noun and "ski" does not refer to any particular kind of skis or skiing style. Instead, in Norwegian and Swedish expressions like "ski hiking", "ski standing" (skiing on downhill slopes) or "ski racing" are used.

There are two different techniques for competitive skiing cross country: "classic" and "freestyle", where the former means mostly gliding forward with the skis in the tracks, while the latter resembles skating. In deep fresh snow classic is the only feasible way, likewise if there is no space besides the tracks on a prepared route. Routes with groomed tracks often offer space for both. If the temperature has varied around the freezing point (0°C, 32°F) there may be hard snow on or near the surface, allowing the skating technique in fields. Frozen lakes and rivers with thin snow cover also invite to this. Competitive skiers use special equipment for freestyle or "skate skiing". Recreational and back country skiing use both techniques depending on the terrain and snow quality. Freestyle or skating is easier with light skis and creates superior speed on hard, even surfaces.

In deep loose snow speeds are low, comparable to slow walking, but in open terrain usually faster than with snowshoes and another world compared to walking in that snow without equipment, if the skis are adequate. In more compact snow, or snow with a frozen layer close to the surface, skiing is usually somewhat faster than when walking on bare ground. With tracks or ideal conditions speeds are comparable to running, sometimes considerably faster; winner times on 50 km classic in the Finlandia race are 2–2.5 hours.

Classical skiing is based on the principle of traction or friction to allow the backward kick. In groomed tracks, traction is usually achieved with grip wax (a sticky substance applied to the mid part of the ski), while in the back country traction is also achieved with a waxless ski sole or with a removable "skin". The mid part of the ski should touch the track firmly when kicking, but rise when gliding, which means the skis have to be chosen to fit your weight. Some skis are more forgiving, which is an advantage when having a backpack that might be more or less heavy. There are also differences in how carefully the ski has to be prepared (waxed) for the specific kind of snow facing you on a route.

To achieve high speeds in tracks, pushing with the poles is the only way – you cannot move your feet quickly enough – and in good tracks and with strong arms there may be no need for using traction, so depending on circuit professionals and good recreational skiers may optimize their skis for gliding. Good traction is however crucial for your experience with the classic technique at slower speeds: in less than perfect tracks, uphill and as a beginner.

There is a trade-off for length and width of the skis: long and wide skis are good in deep loose snow in open terrain, but long skis are cumbersome in woods and bush and on steep hillsides, and extremely wide skis may not fit in prepared tracks (also some bindings may be problematic).

When getting the equipment, be prepared to choose between several options depending on what you are going to do and what you are prepared to pay (at least in specialist shops, others may offer only one kind). The skis, bindings, boots and poles may be optimized for either classic or skate skiing, for tracks or for ski touring without tracks, for mostly flat terrain or for downhill with the telemark technique. Skis, bindings and boots should match and are often sold as a package; consider whether you want to be able to replace some without replacing all of them.

Skiing downhill, in tracks and in untouched snow are very different experiences; do not expect the thrills of one when performing another. And while some techniques are easy to adopt to another environment, there is much to be learnt for somebody lacking experience in the current one.

Ski types by purpose

There are rough categories of skis for different purposes. The division here may not be universal and there may be compromises, but you should probably decide which types make sense for you. The skis for different purposes and techniques differ in length, width, stiffness and possibly other aspects. If there is a chance you will ski in tracks, in loose snow (other than downhill) or in mountains, try to find a ski that is adequate in all your uses. In wilderness backpacking, the important thing is not to get the best possible performance, but not to have a situation where the ski makes you miserable – avoid the extremes.

Also bindings and poles differ by intended use and skiing boots are usually made to fit one specific model of binding (there are often two big brands with different bindings for any type of ski, and possibly many obsolete designs). Bindings differ, in addition to usability for a specific type of skiing, by how easily frozen snow can stuck the fastening mechanism, to what extent they can be repaired in the field etc. There may be variations in this respect between bindings that fit the same boot. In deep powder snow gaiters are essential to keep boots free of snow. Gaiters are also useful to keep feet and legs warm in the backcountry and in the mountains.

A traditional all-round ski is about as long as the user with a raised arm. This length allows turning on the spot (after some training). Much longer skis are clumsy in dense wood and going downhill. Somewhat shorter skis are easier to handle for the beginner, in dense wood and in steep terrain. The corresponding poles reach from the ground to the armpit.

The width of old wooden skis was about 5–10 cm (2–4"). Machine made tracks allow up to, which is worth taking into account. Wider skis can be made shorter and still carry the user in loose snow (and allow more curvature for going downhill).

The stiffness is usually chosen so that the ski touches the ground under the foot when the user's weight is put on it, but not when the weight is evenly on both skis. This allows effective skiing in tracks as the rougher middle part touches the track only when kicking, but using a gliding-one-way-only structure a less stiff ski can do its job.

Downhill skis
Normal alpine downhill skis are useless in flat terrain, as you cannot lift the heels. Alpine touring bindings allow freeing the heel and thus walking in flat terrain and uphill.

Telemark skis can be used at least for walking in the snow; there are also compromises that allow more or less efficient skiing in flat terrain. Telemark skis are usually wider than fell (mountain) skis to allow better handling in powder snow.

Poles for downhill skiing are too short to give significant help in flat terrain.

Fell skis
Skis for skiing in exposed terrain with steep hillsides, such as above the tree line, are a compromise between telemark downhill skis and normal backwood skis (as were the original telemark skis). Telemark skis are often used as fell (mountain) skis. Fell skis are heavier and more rigid than crosscountry track skis to allow sideways control. The bindings allow good control over the skis and sharp metal edges get a grip also in hard snow. The skis are often quite wide (but some are less than 65 mm) to give to good float in powder snow. Skis are curved to ease turning. The skis are of about traditional length or shorter to allow easy handling. "Skins" (originally stripes of seal skin or similar) are used to give good grip in the snow going uphill and removed when not needed, to get better glide. They are typically attached to the skis via a loop on the ski tip, a hook on the tail, and adhesive on the base of the skin.

Backwood skis
Where deep loose snow is to be expected the skis need to be long and wide. There are extreme skis, but skis of traditional length and of width fitting in machine made tracks are enough (and more practical) in most circumstances. Even track skis are mostly usable in compact or thin snow, if there is a hard layer near the surface, or if skiing in a track made by the rest of the company.

The bindings are often made such that most boots will fit, although boots intended for this use should normally be used. Other boots will have less good a fit and wear down quickly. These bindings are wide and do not necessarily fit well in machine made tracks.

Poles should have moderate to big "baskets", to keep the end of the pole near the surface also in loose snow. Old poles found at flea markets are usually adequate, while track skiing poles are quite miserable (the baskets of the former resemble wheels with spokes, those of the latter are compact pieces of plastic).

Track skiing skis

When skiing in ready made tracks ("classic" skiing), in dense snow or in snow with a hard surface, narrower skis can be used. Skis for skiing in tracks are often 45 mm wide or even less. The bindings are narrow and give good control, but are not meant for big side-way forces (as in downhill skiing) and impossible to repair en route. Track skis don't have metal edges and are difficult to handle on hard snow surfaces such as crust. Track skis are generally too narrow and soft for backcountry skiing.

Skating skis
Skis for the skating technique ("freestyle") are stiffer than traditional skis and quite short, and like classical track skis without metal edge. Poles are long. The skating technique can also be used with traditional skis. Skiing with narrow skating skis is feasible on solid snow, but not in powder snow or on very hard surfaces like crust.

Prepare
Learn to ski before you try longer trips on your own. There are courses at many ski resorts, but if you are able to train at home you can benefit from more advanced advice or more easily head for the real adventure at your destination.

Skis, poles, boots and other equipment can either be bought at home or bought or rented at or near the destination. In the latter case, find out what is available, when and where.

Learn about your destination: what kind of routes are available, what services at the hub and en route, what to expect about the weather etcetera.

Waxing etcetera
Most skis need waxing depending on temperature and structure of the snow. For competitive skiing this is a tedious procedure, on higher levels handled by separate professional experts, while there are short-cuts for the less ambitious. Depending on the ski right waxing is essential in any weather or only in some circumstances. Regular maintenance waxing (or other procedures, such as tarring for traditional wooden skis) is needed for any skis. Glide wax is used on all skis. On skis with a grip zone in the middle, glide wax is applied at the front and back only. Expert skiers use different glide wax depending on temperature and snow quality, while the recreational skier is happy with the same glide wax all year. Glide wax is applied with a hot iron and can last all season. Even an ordinary candle can be used as glide wax.

In "classic" skiing the middle part of the ski should give a good grip while kicking and the rest of the ski should provide gliding. Different type of wax is applied on the grip zone depending on quality and temperature of snow. As a rule of thumb, hard wax is used for fresh snow and soft klister is used for transformed (coarse grained) snow. The hardest waxes are generally used in the coldest weather. Klister is a very sticky and notoriously difficult to handle substance usually kept in a tube container just like tooth paste. Traditionally different wax is applied on this section, but the surface can also be rougher here. A fish-scale structure in this section (and some high tech solutions) gives traction when kicking, still allowing gliding. This allows skis not matched to your weight – an important feature when carrying backpacks of varying weight.

Destinations

 * Ski resorts. There are cross country routes around many of them.
 * National parks and similar at the right latitudes or altitudes.
 * The back yard or near-by park at many destinations in the north, such as in the Nordic countries. Oslo for instance offers an extensive network of groomed tracks within reach of the metro. In Norway there is often a network of groomed trail adjacent to alpine slopes for instance at Kvitfjell and Hafjell in Gudbrandsdalen, at Beitostølen in Valdres, at Hovden and at Geilo in Hallingdal/Hardangervidda.
 * Amateur races, such as Vasaloppet in Sweden and the Finlandia race in Finland.

Backpacking by ski

This activity is also called backcountry ski, ski touring or ski hiking. It is related to but usually not involving alpine style ski touring or mountaineering, the latter ones done in steep terrain and requiring much stiffer skis and boots.

Think of the skiing route as of a similar hiking route. In good conditions you will be able to cover somewhat greater distances than walking – but only very seldom you will get the speeds of cross country skiing without a heavy backpack in groomed tracks.

There might be prepared tracks most of the way, but be prepared to cope without them, as they may not be groomed quick enough after heavy snow fall, you might have to diverge from the route or you might loose them in snowy weather. In many types of terrain, heavy snowfall will massively reduce your orienteering ability – it is surprisingly difficult to keep a course while seeing only moving snow and no landmarks, and already moderate wind or quite moderate snowfall may be enough in open terrain. If above the tree line or in dangerous terrain like one with cliffs, you must be prepared to find a safe place and wait as long as needed.

In national parks or similar areas are often cottages for lodging. They may be unlocked and unmanned wooden huts without flowing water and electricity, available only with a key after reservation, or full-fledged hotels. Be sure to find out the local conventions and the locations as well as opening dates, equipment and services of cottages you might want to use.

If you stay overnight outdoors, note the possibility of snowfall during the night. If you leave equipment outdoors, other than in your backpack, it may be very difficult to find in the morning. With tents, the usual pegs to secure it to the ground will be unusable as the ground is frozen and deep under the snow. Instead you can use nearby trees or stones, your skis and poles, bags, snow saw, shovel, or bury big branches in the snow as snow anchors.

In some locations you can hire a guide or buy a full service package including somebody making tracks with a snowmobile, transporting the main luggage, preparing the food and arranging visits and programme on the way. Of course, this increases convenience, security and costs but reduces your chances to enjoy the tranquility of snow covered back country. In others or if you are on a budget, you will be more or less on your own, which means you may need experienced company and some training yourself.

In winter you will need warmer spare clothes, more food (quite a lot of energy is used to staying warm), a warmer sleeping bag (matching the lowest temperature to expect, usually at night), and a bivi bag or wind bad or tent or similar even if you plan using cottages: A snow storm might force you to camp in between huts, can last for many hours and can cause rescue teams not to start or find you as vision range may drop to one meter. For areas where firewood is available you might even take a tent with stove. On the other hand you should not carry too much, as a heavy backpack will decrease balance on ski considerably more than for walking – for skiing, pack the heavy stuff low – and massively influence whether, how and where you fall when you stumble. Do not underestimate this risk because the consequences resulting from any injury are severe when temperatures are low, distance to even a cottage are long and help cannot arrive by road. So if you're on slippery ground (ice, hard snow etc.) or you assume your ski could hit objects (stones etc.) stopping you abruptly, you may opt to not normally ski downhill but instead walk or use skins increasing grip (mostly like snow shoes). Also inform yourself about options in emergency situations, e.g. the mobile network coverage (even non-existing on famous and popular treks like northern Kungsleden) or availability and base of snow scooters that can still start in weather being bad enough to force helicopters to stay on ground.

You can use a toboggan, ahkio, pulk or similar to pull some of your equipment instead of carrying, which means you can have more stuff if you really need to (such as when being single and self-supported for a week or when crossing Greenland). With a pulk, you will loose quite some agility compared to a backpack, for example in forested areas. For going downhill, the pulk should have semi-stiff shafts, hindering it from overrunning the person pulling it, and a possibility to attach a rope enabling the person behind to help braking.

Check what parts of the ski can break, whether they can be fixed or replaced with an improvised substitute in field and what spare parts and tools to carry. Discuss with somebody experienced. Walking in deep snow is no fun after the first kilometre, and even with improvised or carried snowshoes it will usually be much harder and slower than skiing (in terrain suitable for skis).

If you have snowshoes as backup, you may want to bring sufficiently big ones or enlargements for small ones, for areas with powder snow. Snowshoes can be much more convenient than ski when you are crossing areas with a constant change between deep snow and nearly no snow cover at all, e.g. terrain with boulders or when wind was blowing the snow, or steep hills with dense forest. Their more universal functional range is usually the main reason for people preferring snow shoes over ski for tours including such terrain.

Stay safe

If there is snow for skiing, the weather is or may turn cold enough to pose a risk. See cold weather for general advice.

 * Routines
 * Always tell somebody where you are going (including alternative routes), when to expect you back – and when to call for help if you did not turn up.
 * Do not leave your party or your equipment when snowfall may hinder you from finding them.
 * For challenging or dangerous circumstances, find routines for communication, assuring everybody is aware of the situation and decisions made.

 * Clothing and gear
 * You do not want to go for a longer trip in heavy clothing, get wet by sweat, get tired, slow down and get cold. Instead you want to be able to use quite light clothing most of the time (covering also head and hands, though), but also to protect yourself against wind and have a sweater ready for the breaks.
 * Sunny weather and reflecting snow means very strong light. Sunglasses might be necessary on longer trips to avoid snow blindness. Also sunburn is possible, which might be hard to notice in time in otherwise cold weather.
 * When going wilderness backpacking or on any longer trips without an experienced guide you need to be able to navigate. Do have a suitable map, a compass and the needed skills – GPS (satellite navigation) alone is not a sufficient as bad weather and terrain can make fixes impossible and batteries' power rapidly decreases in colder temperatures.
 * Be prepared for changes in weather. Will you get to your base before dark if you lose the advantage of prepared tracks because of snowfall?
 * Ski boots, particularly synthetic boots for groomed trails, are often not warm enough when you stop for a long break or walk around in snow. For long ski trips in the back country "foot bags" to pull over shoes or boots are an effective way to keep feet warm and safe. Foot bags are like long gaiters that cover the knee as well as the entire foot with shoes on.
 * Terrain
 * If you intend to cross rivers or lakes, or use them as part of your route, be sure to know how to avoid thin ice, how to get up if you are unlucky anyway and how to keep yourself warm afterwards.
 * Many lakes are water reservoirs: cracks and weak ice may develop when the reservoir is tapped during winter. This is particularly the case when ski areas are nearby (snow cannons) and in areas with mountain lakes used for hydro power like in Norway.
 * In mountainous areas there might be cracks or steep hill sides obscured by snow. Always know where you are when near potentially dangerous places.
 * There may be risk of avalanches or snow storms on some popular cross country routes. Do know how to cope. Avalanches start on slopes steeper than 30° or 50 % grade (roughly the same slope as traditional pitched roofs in Norway and northern Europe). Skiing on steeper slopes than 30° requires an accurate assessment of snow stability – if in doubt keep a safe distance. Skiing in a narrow valley below a 40° hillside is not better: even a small avalanche can bury you in such places.
 * Glaciers are treacherous and in winter hidden under snow.

Cope
If the skis become wet underneath – which happens easily if there is water under the snow, such as often in ditches or on sea ice – go on skiing energetically, without stopping. As long as what you have under the skis is slush, it will wear away in the snow while skiing, but if it freezes, it becomes hard to get rid of. If unlucky, you have to take off the skis and try to clean them (without damaging the ski; your nail or a sharp piece of wood may be usable). Even a small patch of ice will prevent the ski from gliding well.

Consequently, avoid putting the skis in the snow directly when coming from indoors, let them cool a moment first. Also when having a pause, cleaning away any snow is a good practice, as it can melt and freeze to ice in certain conditions.

When crossing roads or skiing along roads, there is often gravel. Scratches on the ski will hurt performance, so take your skis off or find another route, unless you intend to often use them in such environment. If so, you could use them on short stretches, but should try to walk with the ski instead of gliding.

Crosshaven

Crosshaven is a village in County Cork, at the point where the River Owenabue flows into Cork Harbour. It grew up from the 18th century when the harbour was fortified, becoming a garrison town for Fort Camden (which remained in British hands until 1938). Tourism developed when the railway arrived in 1904, and it also became a commuter town for Cork. However it was outgrown by Carrigaline 8 km west upriver, which is industrial but has accommodation and other facilities described on this page. In 1966 the Royal Cork Yacht Club, based in Cobh since 1720, relocated to Crosshaven and brought the Cork Week Regatta with it.

Crosshaven, which in 2016 had a population of 2577, in Irish is Bun an Tabhairne, thought to mean "mouth of the river Sabhrann".

Get in
Bus Éireann 220X runs M-Sa hourly from Ovens and Ballincollig via UCC campus and Cork city centre to Carrigaline and Crosshaven, taking just under an hour from the city. The most central city stop is Grand Parade, a block south of Parnell St bus station, which the bus doesn't enter. On Sunday take the slower 220 which runs every 30 min.

By road from Cork follow R612 past Carrigaline, 19 km. The railway closed in 1932 and there are no plans to reinstate it.

Visiting boats can moor at The Boatyard east of the inlet or Royal Cork Yacht Club west.

is at Ringaskiddy a few km north. In summer there are ferries from Roscoff and Santander.

Get around
Bus 220 continues west from the village as far as Camden Fort Meagher. You need a car to enjoy the further beaches.

This leads past the sheltered reach of river called "Drake's Pool", as Sir Francis Drake's ships supposedly hid there from a Spanish fleet in 1589. They did no such thing: Drake spent 1589 getting the English navy sunk in a disastrous expedition to Corunna.
 * - downriver, east to Fort Camden, where you view of harbour and fort from a grassy hillock. You can continue south along the rocky coast to Graball, Church Bay and Fennel's Bay, but the last section is a scramble and only uncovered at low tide. You can't continue along the coast inland as Fort Templebreedy is fenced off.
 * - however you can circle inland from Church Bay up a steep hill to the ruin of St Matthew's, and from there to Fennel's Bay and the hamlet of Myrtleville.

Crow Agency

Crow Agency is a town in Southeast Montana. The namesake agency is in the town. The privately-owned town of Garryowen is nearby, as is the site of the Little Bighorn battlefield.

Understand

The town has some 1,500 inhabitants (2010). It is the governmental headquarters of the Crow Native Americans and the location of the agency offices, where federal representatives interact with the Crow Tribe, pursuant to federal treaties and statutes.

The Crow Tribe's reservations, and the tribe's relations to the United States were defined by treaties between the Crow Tribe and the United States, and by United States statutes. The Treaty of Fort Laramie of 1851 created extensive reservation lands for the Indian tribes in Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas at a time when the non-Indian presence in this area was limited to roving traders and the Crow tribe consisted of nomadic bands whose culture was based on hunting the migratory buffalo herds. Conflicts began when bands of the Sioux migrated westwards, and in 1863 when gold was discovered in western Montana. The Sioux went to war and forced the United States to close the trail through the Powder River country. The Crow reservation boundaries were remade in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, as the Sioux were given land in the former Crow areas. In compensation the Crow were promised some support. Sporadic conflicts with the Sioux continued. In 1874 miners encroached on the western margins of Crow lands in the Absaroka Range, and the reservation was again reduced in 1875. Rapid transition on the plains of eastern Montana and Wyoming followed, together with gold found in the Black Hills resulting in the Great Sioux War of 1876, where the Crows provided scouts for the United States military forces.

In the battle of Little Big Horn, the U.S. 7th Cavalry under George Custer suffered a major defeat to the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho.

The defeat resulted in a concerted military backlash against the Sioux, and soon the Sioux had to flee to Canada or were confined to reservations along the Missouri River. This first gave relief for the Crow, but with the Sioux presence neutralized, hide hunters came to harvest the northern buffalo herds. Also, the Northern Pacific Railroad was built. By 1882 the buffalo were gone and other game reduced, and the Crow's nomadic way of life could no more be sustained.

Crown Point (New York)

Crown Point is a town on the New York side of the Champlain Valley in the Adirondacks.

Understand
The French began building a fort at this location as early as 1731. The narrowness of the lake passage at Crown Point, now spanned by the bridge, was of crucial strategic importance.

The name of the town is attributed to a translation of the French fort name; Point au Chevalure (the crown of the head). France retreated from the area before the Seven Years' War (the French and Indian War in North America), destroying limestone Fort St. Frédéric (1734-1759) when they left. The British gained control of the area and built Fort Crown Point in 1759 as a large earthen fort. Crown Point, controlled by Vermont's Green Mountain Boys militia in 1775, was employed by the British during the 1777 Saratoga campaign, a failed attempt to establish British control of the Hudson Valley. The next line of defence below Crown Point was Ticonderoga. Crown Point's log and earth fortress were destroyed by an accidental fire in 1773, but ruins of some of the other buildings on the site survive as Crown Point State Historic Site, a state park at the northern tip of Crown Point peninsula.

Vermonters began creating a permanent settlement in what would become present day Crown Point in 1800, when Stephen Spaulding and his brothers came to the area on a scouting expedition. The flat coastal plain made early settlement relatively easy as did the short distance to their Vermont homes. They traveled between their established Vermont farms and this new land as they cleared the ground, built log cabins and prepared to move their families. Residents of Crown Point still commute to work in Vermont.

Crown Point was an industrialized community with fine houses, lawyers, doctors, stores and an academy for training teachers, when the Civil War engulfed the country. Unlike the earlier wars, the town wasn’t directly trampled by soldiers in battles, yet it gained fame from the number of its citizens who went to fight in the conflict, and from the Morgan horses it supplied to the Union Army. Three of the most famous horses, Pink, Billy, and Jeff, survived the war, returned to Crown Point and are buried there.

By the end of the 20th century, the iron veins showed signs of exhaustion and the company was sold. The Essex County fish hatchery, where stock is grown, is located in Crown Point. History-seeking tourists, boaters and bicyclists are drawn to the town. At the millennium, local residents, as well as entrepreneurs escaping urban life, have re-established cottage industries in the town.

Get in
I-87 North to exit 28. Take Route 74 East to Essex County Route 2.

or take Route 9N & 22 north from Ticonderoga, south from Port Henry. From Vermont take Route 17 West to the Crown Point Bridge.

Amtrak's "Adirondack" line passes through the Town of Crown Point, but stations are at Ticonderoga to the south and Port Henry to the north.

Get around
By car, RV, motorcycle, bicycle or boat on Lake Champlain.

Crowsnest Pass

Crowsnest Pass is in Southern Alberta, Canada. Gateway to the southern Alberta and some of the last untouched beauty of the Canadian Rockies. It is on the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3).

The municipality of 5,500 people (2016) resulted from a legal amalgamation of five towns (from east to west):, , , , and , in 1979. Blairmore and Coleman are the largest towns; Frank is the smallest. Within its boundaries are also the former communities (abandoned, or much reduced) of, , , and.

Understand
The Crowsnest Pass area on both sides of the provincial boundary is rich in coal deposits, which were quickly developed after completion of the rail line. All the mines on the Alberta side were closed by the end of the 20th century as cheaper and safer open-pit mines opened on the British Columbia side of the pass. Some logging and oil and gas exploitation also occur in the area and a sulphur plant has been in operation there for several years.

Tourism based on the natural and historical resources of the area remains underdeveloped but is slowly growing.

History
Before the arrival of Europeans, Aboriginal people used this major breach through the Front Ranges for seasonal migrations, and also for trade between mountain and plains cultures.

 * The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built the Crowsnest Route line from Lethbridge, Alberta, to Kootenay Landing, British Columbia, through the Crowsnest Pass between 1897 and 1898. This line was built primarily to access mineral-rich southeastern BC via an all-Canadian rail route, and to assert Canadian (and CPR) sovereignty in an area into which U.S. railroads were beginning to build. It also opened up coal deposits in the Crowsnest and Elk River valleys which were important to mineral smelting operations and assisted the CPR in its conversion of locomotives from wood to coal. The CPR sought and received construction funding from the federal government, partially in exchange for a freight subsidy on prairie farm exports and equipment imports which came to be called the "Crow's Nest Pass Agreement".

The first motor vehicle to cross the Canadian Rockies did so via Phillipps Pass, about 1 km north of Crowsnest Pass, and in 1917 a road was blasted around the shores of Crowsnest Lake and across Crowsnest Pass, renamed Interprovincial Highway Three in 1932. It is also known as the Crowsnest Highway.

By car
The easiest way to get there is by car, from either the east or west on Highway 3 or from the north on the undeveloped Highway 940 (this route is quite hard on the suspension and is only advised in a 4x4 or SUV).

The Crowsnest Pass is 269 km (about 2½ hours by car) southwest of Calgary, 70 km east of Fernie or 140 km west of Lethbridge. If travelling from Calgary it is well worth taking the picturesque Highway 22 via Black Diamond and Longview, which follows part of the Cowboy Trail.

By bus

 * There is scheduled bus service along the Highway 3 corridor. This bus service does not stop in Crowsnest Pass, though it does stop in Sparwood (about 40 km from Blairmore) and Pincher Creek (about 46 km from Blairmore).

 * CNP Shuttle (+1 403-564-4911) offers a private hire mini-bus service between Calgary/Lethbridge and the Crowsnest Pass.

 * During ski session it is possible to get a chartered ski bus from Calgary airport and arranged to be dropped off en route, you will probably have to travel to Fernie to catch the return journey.

Get around

If staying in or near Blairmore most amenities are within walking distance.

Do
The main attraction of the Crowsnest Pass is its pristine wildness, which is highly accessible from any of the towns.

Activities
There are a lot of trails and backcountry roads, which are well signed and popular with walkers, cyclists and ATV/quad riders. During the winter cross country skiing, snow-shoeing and snow-mobiling take over as the wildness 'escapes'.

Skiing

 * Major ski hills are in Fernie and near Pincher Creek.
