Rockies spectacular scenery
I'm still dreaming about my visit to
the Canadian Rockies. the first part
of this month. For sheer grandeur and
spectacular scenery, they surely rank
with the most superb.
I'd not been to Banff since t was a
teenager, but it was exactly as 1
remembered it. Of course, there were
more fancy hotels to accommodate
dredth birthday of the park, and a
new Crave and Basin Centennial ('en-
tre will open next month. with the
buildings and swimming pool
restored to their earlier splendour. 11
you're thinking of a trip West, this is
the year to include Banff, which every
l'anadain should see and enjoy.
We drove into the mountains by bus
It Seems to me...
the thousands of tourists that flock
there. but the setting, the smell and
the feel of the place were as wonder-
ful as ever.
The first lucky residents of that
area were Stoney Indians, and one
can only imagine the thrill of the first
white men who come upon this stun-
ning scene where the natives even
had the delight of swimming in
naturat hot springs. The smell of
sulphur may have been strong, but
the scent of cash was stronger, and
many tried. unsuccessfully,, to pro-
cure the homestead and mineral
rights to the hot springs basin and
cave. Fortunately, the government,
also, recognized the tourist potential
of the springs which they believed.
could help pay the cost of the comple-
tion of a transcontinental railroad. So,
in 1885, it decided to reserve the area
of 27 square kilometres "as a public
park for pleasure ground for the
benefit, advantage and enjoyment of
the people of Canada." Thus, the Hot
Springs Reserve became Canada's
firs( national park.
Immediately. the location was
developed..and in a few short years.
Banff moved into a golden age of
guiding, packing, and climbing ex-
peditions. it became the playground
of the ric). and advertising promoted
"an enclave of refined civilization.
deep within the Canadian
wilderness." Swiss guides were hired
to explore and escort debutantes from
all over North America to the glaciers
above Lake Louise. And the grandiose
hotels at Banff and Lake Louisewer'e
places to socialize between
explorations.
This year. many celebrations are
afoot to commemorate the one hun-
by Gwyn Whilsmith
from Calgary and found the little town
of Banff still nestled at the foot of
towering Mount Rundle; with the sea
of other peaks flaring upward in
every direction. it was evening. so we
had first of all, to find accommodation
in a chalet -type hotel where my sister-
in-law chose the loft, while my sister
and I settled in on the lower level. We
strolled out for a late supper. and to
savour our grand surroundings.
How does one descridbe the ever
changing, multi -faceted profiles of
peaks against a dark blue sky'' How
does one describe the feeling . of
awesomeness that impregnates the
veru air filled with the fresh scent of
pine'' You can't: it has to 'be ex-
perienced to be believed.
The next morning. we walked the
quiet streets. enjoying the rustic
quaintness of the town. A bus took us
to the Banff Springs iIotel where we
decided to treat ourselves to some of
its, elegance by having our lunch on
the wide patio. overcooking a spacious
swimming pool. and beyond. the Bow
River. Later. we luxuriated in the
warm mineral water of the Upper !lot
Springs.
A ten hour tour. the next day, took
us deep into the mountains, slopping
first at Lake Louise which lies like a
glimmering jewel at the base of its
glacier. We travelled through valleys
and up over passes that moved us
above the tree line. viewing scenes
that took away our breaths at every
turn. As we drove on to the Columbian
Icefields, we spied mountain goats
high up in the rocks, and big horned
sheep,elk,moose along the side of the
highway.
At the giant Athabasca Glacier we
walked to its toe. and some of the
