In places the old corduroy can still be seen. Just before Kruger\u2019s Flats is reached, there lie the remains of an old bridge. Its construction technique indicates that it was built sometime after the Monkman Pass Highway epic.<\/p>\n<p>Emil Kruger and his brother owned a mink ranch at Kruger\u2019s Flats in the 1930s. (The pioneers referred to a natural open valley-bottom area as a \u201cflat\u201d.) Strategically placed at the junction of Stony Creek and the South Redwillow River and directly on the Monkman Pass route, Kruger\u2019s Flats became a favourite stopping place for the pioneers and crews. \u00a0Although it has seen subsequent owners, Kruger\u2019s Flats remains a remarkable site, with four dilapidated cabins that evoke memories of a bygone era.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not disturb or remove any items from the cabins or surrounding area, but leave them for others to enjoy while exploring.<\/p>\n<p>Another stretch of the old route can be enjoyed at Stony Lake. Members of Tumbler Ridge\u2019s Wolverine Nordic &amp; Mountain Society continue to follow the ruts to identify and restore the route, and develop the Monkman Pass Memorial Trail.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6acbf42399307\" data-id=\"6acbf42399307\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6acbf42399323\" data-id=\"6acbf42399323\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"30\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"dt-fancy-separator title-left h3-size\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><div class=\"dt-fancy-title\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"separator-holder separator-left\"><\/span>More Information<span class=\"separator-holder separator-right\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_tta_accordion color=&#8221;black&#8221;
