SOUTH MIETTE PASS
Bonhomme Miette was a voyageur who it is thought made the first ascent, of Roche Miette in the Athabasca Valley. He became a legendary figure in French Canadian folklore, he was said to be a gifted fiddler and storyteller. During the 1830's it is known that Miette did live in the Athabasca Valley where he was a, "company servant" who hauled coal from the area of Roche Miette to Jasper House as well as to Henry house at the mouth of the Miette River that was also named after him.
