Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Mountain Point) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Mountain Point. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 55.2944, Longitude: -131.5325 In this case, the coordinates for Mountain Point have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
