He turns naturally, therefore. to the
great continent of America, where he
expects to find plenty of new things,
and generally finds them on the largest
scale. In mountaineering his conf
dence is not misplaced. and for him
the paradise of the entire hemisphere
is among the Rocky Mountains. in the
western part OF Canada. Here, and
mere alone. the multitudinous condI-
tons of Switzerland are combined
the wondrous glacial fields, the
mnssing of majestic ranges, the strik-
ing precipices and snow-crownel
peaks. the forest areas. clear lakes
and peaceful valleys. Much of this
majestic scenery may be enjoyed
without passing out of sight of the
tfanscont'nental railroad: and some OF
the Srandest mountains and the finest
climbs are but short distance from
It. If all the mountain climbers In
the world were to make Il combined
attempt to explore the Canadian
Rockies the task would not be COM
pleted within q century," With these
and similar words. Edward Whymper,
the first conqueror of the Matterhorn,
challenges the mounta'neers of the
world TO invade the Rockies of Can
ada. He offers to them the glory of a
first ascent so dear to every noun
tain climber.
Realizing the Importance of preserv-
ing the beauty of this region, the
Canadian government has set aside s.
