THE WONDERLAND WEST Playgrounds in the Rockies IN THE various mountain ranges that make up the Canadian Rockies—the Rockies proper, the Selkirks, and the Monashee, Coast, Cascade, and Purcell Ranges—there are, according to Government measurements including only those peaks which bear names, and not the innumerable mountains that have not yet been named or measured, or that are very difficult of access from railways, 630 peaks above 6,090 feet above sea-level; 308 between 7,000 feet and 10,000 feet; 161 between 10,000 feet and 12,000 feet; and 4 over 12,000 feet. All these you see around and within easy reach of the principal vacation resorts of the Canadian Rockies—-resorts which have now become known to the ends of the world. Banff, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, and the Yoho Valley—these are some of the centers of summer life, where you can golf, climb mountains, take wonderful motor trips, ride into the fastnesses on sure-footed mountain ponies, fish, swim, boat, hike or explore; where you meet Indians, and cow- punchers, and scarlet-coated Royal Canadian Mounted Policemen, or mountain sheep wandering unmolested by the road. And at these and other places there are magnificent hotels or charming bungalow camps. These resorts of the Canadian Rockies are now so closely linked by motor roads as well as by railway that when you go to visit one you can easily visit them all. Tourist accommodation is secured at hotels or at Bungalow Camps, and the four Canadian Pacific hotels in the mountains'are now, without exaggeration, world famous. They are of different size, but each is characterized by the same beautiful location, the same luxury, comfort and charm of interior appointment, and excellence of personal service. Each occupies the best scenic view point, and is the center of all outdoor excursions and facilities necessary thereto. Bungalow Camps not only supplement the hotels, but also provide accommodation of a somewhat different kind. They are, on the whole, much less formal, and are of log or other wooden construction, with a large central building that serves as a dining room and social center, and separate sleeping bungalows. Besides the Bungalow Camps, there are many Tea-Houses, Lodges and Rest-Houses at outlying points. ROUTE OF THE SOO-PACIFIC EXPRESS AND THE MOUNTAINEER From Calgary, the line climbs to the Great Divide. Thence, following the narrow Kicking Horse Pass, it dips down to meet the majestic Columbia River; then it re-ascends another quarter of a mile to the summit of the Selkirk Range before beginning its three- quarter mile drop to the Pacific. The Spiral Tunnels through the Kicking Horse Pass, the Connaught Tunnel through the Selkirks, are engineering feats of a magnitude matching the obstacles opposed to the passage of the railway. The trip through the Thompson and Fraser canyons is of scarcely less interest than the journey through the mountains themselves. One of the most beautiful valleys to be found in the Canadian Rockies is the marvelous valley of the Bow, whose sparkling waters flo channel deeply cut between titanic mountain peaks. Here is the enchanting Banff Springs Hotel To the natural attractions of this region have been added unsurpassed sporting facilities. The world's most scenic golf course built at a cost of $400,000, is but a few yards from the Hotel. There are four tennis courts; two superb swimming pools- one filled from warm sulphur springs and the other from mountain streams. There are bridle paths and trails for riding; paths for the hiker and scenic roads like the Banff-Windermere highway for the motorist. And in the evening, as you stroll on the moonlit terraces, with frowning peaks surrounding you, the strains of a lilting orchestra float out from the spacious ballroom. There is always something to do, something new to see and world famous artists are brought to entertain you. THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST Lake Louise—this wonderful sheet of cold, sparkling water, fed by the melting iridescent glaciers upon the towering sides of the surrounding mountain peaks, nestles peacefully and mirror-like as a dewdrop in the chalice of a morning glory ALTERNATIVE ROUTES The Crow's Nest Pass line of the Canadian Pacific, and its continuation, the Kettle Valley line, is a postscript, crossing the Rockies farther south than the main line. The visitor who would fully and faithfully see Canadian Rocky-land should go by way of Banff and Lake Louise and then dip southward via Golden, to Lake Winder- _ There are two alternatives. One is to go by the main line as far as Revelstoke, and thence branch southward through the Arrow Lakes to Nelson and the Kootenays. The other is to go to Sicamous, and southward through the charming, fertile Okanagan Valley to Penticton. The southern route via Crow's Nest Pass line ties together these beautiful lakes of British Columbia, and forms an alternative through route from the prairies to Vancouver. THE NATIONAL PARKS ROCKY MOUNTAINS PARK, the easternmost and largest of these six, is bounded on the west by the inter-provincial boundary between Alberta and British Columbia, and on the east by, approximately, the first big ranges of the Rockies. It has an area of 2,751 square miles, its greatest length being about one hundred miles. Its principal mountain ranges are the Vermilion, Kananaskis, Bourgeau, Bow and Sawback ranges; its principal river is the Bow, which has for chief tributaries the Kananaskis, Spray, Cascade and Pipestone rivers. The Panther and Red Deer rivers flow through the northeastern portion of the Park, which includes part of the Bow River Forest Reserves. Of the many beautiful lakes within the Park, the principal are Louise, Minnewanka, Hector, Spray, Kananaskis and Bow Lakes. Banff and Lake Louise are the chief centers, the former the administrative headquarters. The Canadian Pacific runs through the middle of the Park, entering at the Gap and following the Bow River. YOHO PARK (area 476 square miles) immediately adjoins Rocky Mountains Park on the west, and lies, broadly speaking, on the descending slopes of the Rockies, with the President and Van )INE| THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST M y M: : M ■ -.... -. .

A Trail Rider Home ranges as its western boundary. It is a region of charm and winsome beauty, of giant mountains and deep forests, of rushing rivers and sapphire-like lakes. Its principal river is the Kicking Horse, with the Ottertail and Yoho as main tributaries; its chief lakes are Emerald, Wapta, McArthur, O'Hara and Sherbrooke. The Yoho Valley, Emerald Lake, Burgess Pass and other points are amongst the chief scenic features. The railway runs through the center of Yoho Park, following the Kicking Horse River. From Yoho, while we are descending the Rockies and ascending into the Selkirk Range, there is an interval of about fifty miles before we enter Glacier Park. This Park (area 468 square miles) includes part of the Hermit Range of the Selkirks, and embraces some of the finest mountaineering country in North America. With its massive peaks and giant glaciers it has an air of grandeur and of mystery. Its chief rivers are the Beaver and the Illecillewaet. The railway, coming from the north, runs through part of the western half of this park, tunnelling under Mount Macdonald and then following the Illecillewaet River. MOUNT REVELSTOKE PARK (area 100 square miles), on the western slopes of the Selkirks, lies about fifteen miles west of Glacier Park, its southern border paralleling the Illecillewaet River. It is very easily reached from the city of Revelstoke. KOOTENAY PARK (area 587 square miles) tucks in between the southern portions of Rocky Mountains and Yoho Parks and comprises the Vermilion, Mitchell and Briscoe Ranges. The Kootenay River flows through its southern part, with a large tributary in the Vermilion. At the southwest end it almost touches the eastern bank of the Columbia River a little above Lake Windermere. The nearest railway connection is at Lake Windermere, but the Banff-Windermere motor-road traverses the center of this Park. WATERTON LAKES PARK (220 square miles) lies about thirty miles south of the Crow's Nest Pass line of the Canadian Mount Assiniboine and End of Trail Pacific, adjoining the international boundary. Here the mountains, set close around the lakes, are warm and very friendly. Adjoining Rocky Mountains Park is a new British Columbia Provincial Park, Mount Assiniboine Park, covering an area of twenty square miles and dominated by Mount Assiniboine, 11,860 feet high. BANFF THE BEAUTIFUL—Banff is the administrative headquarters of Rocky Mountains Park (area 2,751 square miles). No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and romantic scenery, and nowhere else are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible. The town lies embowered in pine forests and lawns, in a pocket of a wide circle of pearly-grey limestone peaks. Warmed by clear sunshine and kissed by clear air, exhilarated by the glacial-green Bow River, Banff bids all welcome. A PANORAMA OF PEAKS—From either the station, the bridge or the Banff Springs Hotel a magnificent panorama is to be witnessed. From the station first: to the north is the grey bulk of Cascade Mountain, towering above the town like a grim old idol. To the east are Mount Inglismaldie and the heights to the Fairholme sub-range. Still farther to the east the sharp cone of Mount Peechee closes the view in that direction. To the left of Cascade rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw. To the west and up the valley are the distant snow peaks of the main range above Simpson's Pass. To the left is Sulphur Mountain, to the southeast the isolated, wooded bluff of Tunnel Mountain and the long serrated spine of Mount Rundle. BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL-Banff has been for many years one of the most popular mountain resorts on the continent—due not only to its environment, but also to the beautifully situated and splendidly appointed Banff Springs Hotel. At the hotel there is entertainment all the time. One could be perfectly happy just looking out towards the enclosing mountains, Moraine Lake Reached from Lake Louise watching the swimmers in the warm sulphur water pool, swimming oneself, playing tennis, or studying the cosmopolitan types which one meets at this great caravanserai. There is an excellent Turkish bath at the hotel, very popular with those who come in after a game of golf or an hour in the saddle. There are numerous interesting spots in the vicinity, all easily accessible by good carriage roads and bridle paths. A short distance from Banff Springs Hotel are the Bow Falls, a cataract of wonderful beauty; Tunnel Mountain, from which a splendid view of the valley is obtained; and the Cave and Basin, a remarkable formation from which gush natural sulphur springs. Within a radius of three miles are the Hoodoos, natural concrete pillars of various shapes and sizes, Cascade Mountain, Stoney Squaw Mountain, the beautiful Vermilion Lakes, the Buffalo Park, Sundance Canyon, a deep and curious cleft in the mountain, and the Upper Hot Springs, on Sulphur Mountain. MOTOR AND TRAIL TRIPS At a distance of eight miles is Lake Minnewanka, a beautiful sheet of water, sixteen miles long, extremely deep and walled in by tremendous cliffs, and the home of huge fighting trout. A wonderful THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST attracts gorgeous cavalcades of Indian braves and squaws from the Stoney Indian Reserve. Buffalo, mountain sheep, mountain goat and other animals at Banff are a never-failing source of interest. Excellent goif links have been laid out at Banff and there are beautiful river trips. BANFF-WINDERMERE MOTOR ROAD The new Banff-Windermere automobile highway over the From the Chateau Windows, Lake Louise Vermilion Pass has opened up a magnificent Alpine country, hitherto known only to the trapper and the hunter, through a hundred miles of pass and canyon. Threading Kootenay National Park and reaching at its lower end the beautiful Windermere Valley, this road is one of the most spectacular in America. At Castle Mountain and Radium Hot Springs there are rustic bungalow camps with comfortable accommodations for motor tourists. TRAIL RIDING THE MOUNTAIN PONY—A trail trip into the depths of the mountains forms, indeed, the most enjoyable way of visiting beautiful spots that would not otherwise be easily accessible. It affords good scenery, often good fishing, and a glimpse into the heart of nature which will be worth "more than many books." The mountain pony, mountain-bred, fool-proof, untiring, can be ridden by practically anyone, whether he or she has ever before been on a horse or not. From all hotels and bungalow camps in the Canadian Rockies, there are good roads and trails radiating in all directions, which are kept up by the National Parks Department. In Rocky Mountains Park alone there are 700 miles of good trails. THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST TRAIL RIDERS—Those who have ridden fifty miles or upwards in the Canadian Rockies are qualified for membership in the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, which, by its annual powwow, affords an unusual opportunity for those interested in trail- riding to get together. The aims of the Trail Riders' Association are, principally, to "encourage travel on horseback through the Canadian Rockies; to foster the maintenance and improvement of old trails and the building of new trails; to advocate and practice consideration for horses, and to promote the breeding of saddle horses suitable for high altitudes; to foster good-fellowship among those who visit and live in these glorious mountains; to encourage the love of out-door life, the study and conservation of birds, wild animals and Alpine flowers; to protect the forests against fire; to assist in every way possible to insure the complete preservation of the National Parks of Canada for the use and enjoyment of the public; to create an interest in Indian customs, costumes and traditions; to encourage the preservation of historic sites as related to the fur-trade and early explorers, and to co-operate with other organizations with similar aims." Membership is of several grades, according to the distance ridden, viz.:—50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,500 miles. LAKE LOUISE LAKE LOUISE (altitude 5,670 feet) is probably the most perfect gem of scenery in the known world, "A lake of the deepest and most exquisite coloring," says one writer, "ever changing, defying analysis, mirroring in its wonderful depths the sombre forest and cliffs that rise from its shores on either side, the white gleaming glacier and snow-crowned peaks that fill the background of the picture, and the blue sky and fleecy clouds overhead." THE CHATEAU—On the margin of this most perfect lake, in a wonderful Alpine flower garden where poppies, violets, columbines, anemones and sheep laurel slope through terraced lawns to the water's edge—the Canadian Pacific has placed its great Chateau Lake Louise. Adjoining the Chateau is a new concrete swimming pool with glacial water heated to a comfortable temperature. There are also two splendid tennis courts attached to the hotel. Encircling Lake Louise is an amphitheatre of peaks. From left to right they are Saddleback, Fairview, Lefroy, Victoria, Collier, Popes, Whyte, the Devil's Thumb, the Needles, the Big Beehive, Niblock, St. Piran and the Little Beehive. At the far end of the lake, catching for the greater part of the day the full glory of the sun, their snow-fields standing out in dazzling whiteness, are the glaciers that drop down from Mount Victoria and the lofty, ice- crowned head of Mount Lefroy. Lake Agnes, a thousand feet above Lake Louise, is reached from the hotel by an easy trail. It is a three-mile trip to Saddleback Mountain, which affords an admirable view of the lovely Paradise Valley. At a distance of about ten miles is Moraine Lake, situated at the head of the Valley of the Ten Peaks and reached over a good carriage highway. Consolation Lake, about three miles further by trail, provides good trout fishing. The Victoria Glacier, a great palisade of hanging snow; Abbott Pass, a deep canyon between Mounts Victoria and Lefroy; O'Hara Lake, Cataract Creek, Paradise Valley, and the Ptarmigan Lakes are among the notable spots well worthy of a visit. There are several good automobile trips from Lake Louise. Swiss guides are attached to the Chateau Lake Louise for those who wish to visit the glaciers, climb mountains, or make some of the more strenuous trips through the passes. YOHO VALLEY THE YOHO VALLEY—one of the finest in the whole Rockies —can be reached either by an extremely fine 11-mile motor drive from Field, or by a motor drive from Wapta Lake. At the end of the drive are the Takakkaw Falls, a ; of glacial origin dropping 1,200 feet; facing them is Yoho Valley Camp. From the Camp a splendid trail trip, over a good trail, can be made to Emerald Lake, over the Yoho Pass. Summit Lake, small but beautifully colored, has a rest and tea house; and thence descent is made to Emerald Lake. Another route from Field to Yoho Valley is over Burgess Pass —one of the most magnificent pony-trips of the mountains. The upper Yoho Valley can be visited by a trail which continues from Takakkaw Falls, past Laughing Falls and the Twin Falls to the Yoho Glacier. A rest and tea house has been built at Twin Falls, where one can sleep overnight. EMERALD LAKE From Field, a railway divisional point, a good motor road leads through a forest of balsam and spruce to Emerald Lake (seven miles). This beautiful lake, of most exquisite coloring and sublimity of surroundings, lies placidly under the protection of Mount ALL YEAR SERVICE Soo-Pacific Express EFFECTIVE April 19th, 1931 EQUIPMENT: LOUNGE—OBSERVATION CHICAGO and VANCOUVER STANDARD SLEEPERS Between Chicago-St. Paul-Minneapolis and Banff and Vancouver Through Dining Car Service Open Observation Car During the Summer Season Westbound Revelstoke to Vancouver, Eastbound Kamloops to Field Nos. 3-107-1 SOO-PACIFIC EXPRESS DAILY Ry.

THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST & 00 vgJNE Emerald Lake—a beautiful sheet of water, of most exquisite coloring and sublimity of surroundings, lying placidly under the protection of Mount Wapta, Mount Burgess and Mount President. Wapta, Mount Burgess and Mount President. On its wooded shore the Canadian Pacific has built a picturesque, cosy chalet, a clubhouse and some charming bungalows. A very attractive two-day riding trip can be made from Emerald Lake Chalet, spending a night at Yoho Valley and continuing next day to Wapta Camp. Other pleasant excursions can be made to points within a short distance of Field, such as the Fossil Beds, Natural Bridge and the Ottertail Road. SICAMOUS At Sicamous, about equi-distant between Calgary and Vancouver, a very comfortable hotel is operated by the Canadian Pacific, and is especially convenient for those who wish to stop off somewhere so as to make the trips through both the Canadian Rockies and the great Fraser-Thompson canyons by daylight. THE CANYONS Kamloops, the junction of the North and South Thompson Rivers, is the beginning of the magnificent canyon country through which we shall travel virtually all the way to Vancouver. The canyons are second only to the Rockies in spectacular scenery, and the traveler is well repaid if he will stay overnight at Sicamous so that he can travel them in daylight. The mountains draw together as the train winds along ledges cut on their face; tunnels penetrate the headlands and lofty bridges span the ravines. At Lytton the canyon widens to admit the Fraser, the largest river of British Columbia, which comes down from the north between two great lines of mountain peaks, and whose turbid flood soon absorbs the bright green waters of the Thompson. The scenery grows wilder than ever. The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock, where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, it madly foams and roars. Ten miles below North Bend is the famous "Hell's Gate," where two jutting promontories suddenly compress the river and force it to escape in a roaring cataract through a bottle-necked outlet. VANCOUVER Vancouver, beautifully situated on Burrard Inlet, and facing a magnificent mountain range, is the largest city of British Columbia; with its imposing business section, its busy docks, its fine shopping streets, and its flower-garbed residential suburbs, it is one of the great metropolitan centers of the Pacific Coast. Vancouver is a favorite summer city, for its mild climate, floral luxuriance and abundance of water make life there very pleasant. There are many bathing beaches, parks, boulevards, automobile roads, golf courses, and short and long steamer trips. Stanley Park, a remarkable forest of almost primeval characteristics, is inside the city limits. THE TRIANGLE ROUTE Canadian Pacific ''Princess" steamers provide a "triangle" service between the cities of Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. VICTORIA Charmingly situated at the southern end of Vancouver Island, Victoria—capital city of British Columbia—is essentially a home city, with beautiful houses, bungalows, gardens, lawns, boulevards and parks; and it has furthermore a distinct charm of its own that makes it different from all other cities of North America, and that has made it a favorite residential and vacation city for both summer and winter alike. The Empress Hotel is a beautiful structure matching the city, overlooking the Inner Harbor, and facing the Parliament Buildings. Adjoining the Empress Hotel, an amusement casino, the Crystal Garden, contains one of the world's largest glass-enclosed salt-water swimming pools, with dance floors, picture galleries, etc. From Victoria many delightful excursions can be made by train or automobile into the interior of Vancouver Island. The immense Douglas fir forests make these trips very attractive. Fine salmon and trout fishing can be enjoyed at many spots. INE THE WONDERLAND OF THE WEST SEATTLE Splendidly located on Puget Sound, mountain-girt and fringed with lakes, Seattle is one of the most important cities of the Pacific Coast—a beautiful and progressive community situated on the slopes of the hills that front the Sound. Amongst the interesting sights of Seattle are the down-town business section, with its sky-scraper buildings, Lake Washington, the residential districts, and many beautiful parks, beaches and summer resorts. Ranier National Park is easily accessible from either Seattle or Tacoma. TO ALASKA From Vancouver or Victoria the palatial "Princess" steamers of the Canadian Pacific provide a frequent service to Alaska. This exceedingly popular side-trip can be made, including return, in nine days. It is a thousand-mile one through the beautiful "Inside Passage" and introduces you to magnificent scenery of a character unknown elsewhere in North America—long fjord-like channels, with glacier-clad mountains dipping deeply into them, gaily painted totem poles, Indians, gold mines, and always the purple glories of the Alaska sunset. Leaving Vancouver, stops are made at Alert Bay, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau and Skagway. From Skagway the White Pass and Yukon Railway takes one still further into "The Land of the Midnight Sun"—over the White Pass to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. From here, steamers provide a regular tourist service to Dawson. There is also a very fine side- trip from Carcross to the far-famed Atlin Lake. FISHING IN THE ROCKIES Five varieties of game fish have their habitat in the waters of the Rocky Mountains National Park—the cut-throat, lake, Dolly Varden, bull and brook trout. Good fishing can be obtained in the Bow River upstream and downstream, Lake Minnewanka, Mystic Lake, Sawback Lakes, Spray River, the Spray Lakes, and the Lower Kananaskis Lake. Around Lake Louise, reasonably good fishing is afforded in the Pipestone River, Consolation Lake, the Upper Bow Lakes and other places. The open season for fishing in the national parks is from July 1st to September 30th, inclusive. There is a Fishing Inspector at the office of the Superintendent of Rocky Mountains Park, at Banff, from whom full and reliable information can be obtained. Between Lake Louise and the Pacific Coast there are numerous points well worth the attention of the angler. Sicamous is a good center, at the head of the celebrated Shuswap Lakes, and comfortable headquarters can be established at the Canadian Pacific hotel adjoining the station. Shuswap Lake has the reputation of containing more varieties of trout and other fish (including steelhead trout and land-locked salmon) than any water in British Columbia. Kamloops, at the junction of the north and south branches of the Thompson River, is an excellent center for the fly fisherman and within easy reach are several fine waters. The lower stretches of both the Thompson and Fraser Rivers offer good fishing at many points. 3. Off to a Good Start 4. Women's Lounge 5.

THE CALGARY STAMPEDE Alberta, always a country of considerable stock-raising interests, is still one of the principal ranching sections of the West; and in the "Stampede" held at Calgary, the glories of the Old West are revived annually in a week's carnival of frontier sports and contests. The Calgary Stampede has now become a famous frontier-day celebration, and contestants come from all parts of the continent. Cowboys, Indians, Mounted Policemen, old-timers are all to be seen in this western epic. It will be held in 1931 from July 6th to 11th and visitors to the Canadian Rockies should stop off at Calgary and participate. ' Mskti . Jp „«vet^ ^W'v. i/Ms/i-M0 I [Vv \\ \\.
