Fort Steele is the biggest and baddest tourist attraction in the area, well worth spending an afternoon exploring. It is a museum and heritage village with over 60 restored and reconstructed heritage buildings, as well as machinery, vehicles, tractors, a steam locomotive and railway cars, and artefacts galore.

Crossing the Kootenay River just south of Fort Steele is this concrete and steel bridge, complete with benchmark. 84C238 is monumented on the southwest face of the south (southeast side of the highway) abutment wall, just above ground level. It is almost buried, but not quite.
