Henry “12 Foot” Davis was a pioneer, prospector and trader in the Peace River region of northern Alberta, back in the 1800’s. He died in 1900, and his grave site is right at this spot, with a view out over the town and the Peace River itself. One evening during my visit, the winter sky put on a brilliant display over the unusually ice-free water. The overlook at Davis’ grave site, looking towards the confluence of the Smoky and Peace Rivers, was a pretty fine place to watch the show.
