A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Valleyview) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Valleyview. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 50.6792, Longitude: -120.2638

We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
