Taylorchrome Color Card. From an Ektachrome transperancy ©G. Morris Taylor, Box 465, Sta. A, Vancouver, Canada. "Manning Park Gallows" at "The Big Burn" on BC's Hope-Princeton Highway (Hwy. 3) west of Allison Pass, c.1960. Apparently, the "Big Burn" of August 8 to 31, 1945 was caused by a motorcycle tourist's or surveyor's cigarette or campfire which destroyed 5,920 acres (2,396 hectares) of forest. This would have been before the paved highway was completed in 1949.
