r Mounted Mountaineers Pow -Wow at Yoho
Above, Starting on the first Annual Hide. Below, Gillet Walking•
in -the -road picks out a few odd peaks for a fair Troll Rider.
Early last July a small party of riders was encamped
on the plateau which lies between Tu nbling Creek
Glacier and the gap in the Vermilion Range of the Cana-
dian Rockies known as the Wolverine Pass. The day
was warm and conducive to sleep, and, because on this
account one of the party dozed and dreamed and later
caused the other members of the party to enthuse over
his dream,there gathered in the Yoho Valley of British
Columbia a week einee, two hundred and six prominent
Canadians, Americans and Europeans, calling themselves
Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Each had
qualified for membership in the Order by riding at one
time or another not less than fifty miles through the
Rockies on horseback.
This unique gathering, recording as it did the first
attempt to form an association of mounted mountain
climbers was characterized by Dr, Charles W. Walcott
head of the Smithsonian Institute of Washington and
honorary president of the Trail:Riders, as a step which
will prove one of the greatest international attractions,
The attendance at the First Annual Ride of the Trail
Riders exceeded by far the most sanguine hopes of the.
organisers, but fortunately, Yoho Camp, that beautiful
village of chalets a mile above the sea, had been reinforced
with twenty Indian teepees and a huge Sun Dance Lodge
which had been erected as camp headquarters by Stony
Indians under the supervision of Chief Walking -in -the -
road.
Only one trail rider left thia camp with what could be
termed a legitimateggrouib. This was Dr, Walcot who
believes that bears stole the aide of mutton which Was
hanging at the back of his chalet when he last saw it,
Riding was, of course the order of the day, and many
of the riders, enchanted 1J the scenery, fell far behind the
main group and lingered on the heights till night fall.
In the evenings the mountain enthusiasts gathered in
the Sun Dance Lodge to talk over the day or to sing and
dance and otherwise amuse themselves. After the white-
mans pow -wow on the second night n real Indian pow-
wow was danced by Chief Walking -in -the -road and
Chief Buffalo -child Long Lance, to the accompaniment
of Indian singing and the beating of torn -toms by a group
of Stony braves.
Altogether the first annual ,pow wow of the Trail
Riders of the Canadian Rockies was a huge success, and
the organisers believe that henceforth the Canadian
Rockies will receive .the recognition and appreciatiOrt
which is their duo,
