"Elementary, my dear Watson."
Elk Valley it is indeed and the valley is well named. The anti-Elk fence is at least 8' high. I flew in for the first time with a friend in August. It is a bit disconcerting on short final when you cross the fence.
The valley is home to a couple of open-cast coal mines and these are not just holes in the ground. Whole mountains are being demolished!
