The trench bottom is 3-to-16 km (2-10 miles) wide and ranges from 600-to-900 metres (2,000-3,000 feet) above sea level. The general orientation of the Trench is an almost uniform 150/330 degree geographic north vector which has also become convenient for north/south aviators. Although some of its topography has been carved into glacial valleys, it is primarily a by-product of faulting. The Trench separates the Rocky Mountains on its east from the Columbia Mountains and the Cassiar Mountains on its west. It also skirts part of the...
