About this footage
Mountain scenery fills nearly every reel here: snow-streaked peaks under heavy cloud, a glacier spilling between rock walls, rivers cutting through canyons and still lakes filmed from the bow of a boat. Two clips show wooden signs for Mount Robson Park and the Robson Glacier. One reel is labeled "tent trailer," which fits the long stretches filmed along a winding highway.
The camera slows down for small things too. There are close-ups of drooping yellow wildflowers against rock, meadows of white blooms, a grouse foraging in grass, a long-legged shorebird on a muddy bank and a deer with antlers moving among boulders at dusk.
People appear mostly as hikers. Groups with backpacks walk forest trails and rest in clearings below the peaks, a family of three holds hands to wade a fast river, two men in cowboy hats saddle a horse for a trail ride, and young people sit in a natural hot spring. The set suits stories about late-1970s camping trips and mountain highway travel in Canada.
