It is a smelter town. Nothing grows there and everybody suffers from lead poisoning. In fact they had to create a new category for their Olympic swimming team: synchronized sinking. They do have a great Italian restaurant there. Just ask a local. Other than that, it is a desolate wasteland. Enjoy.

But, hey! some people like the place, for reasons beyond my comprehension, so don't take my word for it.Cliffy what could they do to change your expierence at Trail?

Like JLM said from what i understand Cominco is the main industry in Trail. If they were to shut down the plant Trail would probably turn into a ghost town,

I'd go to Trail and Rossland area for sitting in a creek with my washpan, a fishing rod and a six pack.

hmmmm.... somehow this strikes me as getting us to spam ourselves with tourism links for Trail. Interesting ploy if I'm right. 
Good luck with your trip planning.
Cliffy, good on you for letting Trail tourism know what they could do to change your experience of their town.

I know Trail of old-it's a place to be avoided-so many more interesting places/opportunity for outdoor activities in the area.

They won't let him practice in Trail because then they would have to admit there is a problem.With all due respect to Cliff, it's those towns that put the meat and spuds on the table.
