About This Book
The narrative recounts extended camping expeditions into the high mountain country around Banff, Lake Louise, and nearby ranges, combining practical guidance on organizing parties and routes with vivid descriptions of lakes, glaciers, forests, alpine flora, and wildlife. The author records numerous ascents, difficult passes, storms, avalanches, and accidents alongside rescues and daily camp routines, and notes the effects of climate, snow-lines, and forest fires. Photographic observation accompanies field notes, and sketches of topography and route difficulties are interwoven with encounters with local Indigenous guides and reflections on the wild, changing character of the mountain landscapes.
