As you drive over the Smugglers Notch mountain pass, you might notice a small cave tucked away past the side of the road. This shelter existed long before the road was even here when the trail was mostly used for transporting illegal goods and alcohol back and forth into Canada. It is here where these so-called smugglers would hide out in the cave (along with their illegal contraband).
