Pass Name
History:
|
This
pass was discovered in 1881
by Virgil C. Bogue as part of the
route
survey for construction of the
Northern Pacific Railroad over the
Cascade Range. A foreman's effort
to speed up construction work
with a
"no work, no eat" edict precipitated
a stampede of
laborers back to the
valley and resulted in the naming of
the pass, and
eventually a railroad
tunnel and the small community near
its west
entrance. |
|
Comments:
|
There was no elevation sign on my
first visit to this pass. So I returned
two years later with my
Sister and
my own sign. |
