Crowsnest Pass - Bellevue Underground Mine Tour

Considered by many the highlight of their trip to the Crowsnest Pass, the Bellevue Underground Mine Tour is well worth a stop. Visitors will get to strap on a miner's helmet and light and descend below ground to the old mine shafts. The Bellevue Underground Mine Tour showcases a "room", a coal shaft, and turn of the century artifacts.

The Bellevue mine started in 1903 and continued operations until 1961. Tours underground take 30 minutes and the temperature in the mine is cool so bring a light jacket. The Bellevue Underground Mine also hosts events on a regular basis including the annual Halloween Howler Mine Tour.

The Bellevue Underground Mine Tour is easy to find - just look for the yellow coal car by the side
