Description From Owner:

Hahas Lake - From the Kootenay Indian word meaning 'skunk.'
Ta Ta Creek - Many variants of the tale of Ta Ta Creek are told in East Kootenay, but basically it is as follows.
A horse thief was being taken to Fort Steele by a posse when he persuaded the constable to let him have a fresh horse.
A little later, where a stream ran through a heavily wooded steep gully, the thief suddenly put his spurs to his horse and got away.
Before disappearing into the woods, he turned to his pursuers, lagging on their jaded mounts, and uttered the famous line: 'Ta ta, friends, I've business up the trail.'
