At that point there is a pullout with bear proof garbage containers and a pair of signs, a British Columbia Heritage Marker and a "Crowsnest Pass Summit" sign, which indicates that the altitude at that point is 1358 metres, or 4455 feet. At the pullout is a nice view up and down the valley and of Summit Lake below.
The BC Heritage Marker, which tells of the rivers and early explorers of the area, reads as follows:
CROWSNEST PASS
Rivers born in Canada's Rockies carved passes eastward to Hudson Bay or westward to the Pacific. This one was long used by Indians, but 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.
