The Dewdney Trail is a 720 km (450 mi) trail in British Columbia, Canada that served as a major thoroughfare in mid-19th century British Columbia. The trail was a critical factor in the development and strengthening of the newly established British colony of British Columbia, tying together mining camps and small towns that were springing up during the gold rush era prior to the colony's joining Canada in 1871. Establishing this route became important and urgent for the colony when many new gold finds occurred at locations near the US border that at the time were much more easily accessed from Washington Territory than from the then barely settled parts of the Lower Mainland and Cariboo. Approximately 80 percent of the trail's route has been incorporated into the Crowsnest Highway.

  • Der ursprüngliche Dewdney Trail war ein 400 km langer Weg, der in Kanada von Hope am Fraser River bis am Kootenay River führte. Der Weg wurde im Zeitraum von 1860 bis 1865 unter der Aufsicht der Ingenieure Edgar Dewdney und Walter Moberly verlegt und gebaut. Die Gouverneure der Kolonie British Columbia, James Douglas und Frederick Seymour, hatten sie dazu beauftragt. (de)
  • La ruta Dewdney (del inglés: Dewdney Trail), o pista, sendero o camino, fue una ruta histórica de 720 km de longitud que sirvió como una importante vía de transporte a mediados del siglo XIX en el sur de lo que hoy es la provincia canadiense de la Columbia Británica. La pista fue un factor crítico en el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de la recién establecida colonia británica uniendo los campamentos mineros y los pequeños pueblos que fueron surgiendo a lo largo de la ruta durante la época de la fiebre del oro antes de que la colonia se uniese a la Confederación Canadiense en 1871. La urgencia e importancia de la ruta fue motivada porque muchos de los nuevos descubrimientos de oro se estaban produciendo cerca de la frontera estadounidense, siendo accesibles más fácilmente desde el entonces te (es)
