Her plaque is mounted on a post of the gorgeous pedestrian bridge spanning the Kaslo River which was built by volunteers of the Kaslo Trailblazers, along the Kaslo River Trail. This trail extends from the end of the Kaslo River, where it flows into Kootenay Lake, 2.6 km. up the Kaslo River, 1.4 km on the south side of the river, and a wheelchair friendly trail for 1.2 km on the north side of the river. This bridge creates the crossover point.
This is a beautiful bridge, bright red, almost pink in its relatively new stain. The river where it crosses is also beautiful, especially in the spring when it boils down the valley in a rush. You'll find the bridge on the path leading southwest from the large pullout at the Welcome To Kaslo sign on Highway 31, just west of Kaslo.
