The Rockies of Canada: A Revised & Enlarged Edition of Camping in the Canadian Rockies (Mountain Classics Collection) (Mountain Classic Collection) - Softcover
First published in 1900, The Rockies of Canada is based on one of the first major works to be written about the mountains of western Canada, Camping in the Canadian Rockies (1896). Focusing upon the escapades of the "Lake Louise Club", a group of relatively inexperienced climbers from Yale University and elsewhere in the eastern United States, this fifth volume in the Mountain Classics Collection offers the reader a glimpse not only of the remarkable beauty and grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, but also the danger and rigors these early adventurers experienced nearly every day.

About the Author:
Walter Dwight Wilcox (1869-1949) first travelled to the Canadian Rockies in the late 19th century. He made numerous first ascents over the years and did a lot of exploring and mapping throughout the region of Banff, Lake Louise and the Kananaskis Valley. Wilcox made his final trip to his beloved Rockies in 1940, at the age of 71.
