About this footage
Nearly all of this film was shot in the mountains, and the trip can be traced by its signs. A wooden post points one way to Yoho Valley and Takakkaw Falls and the other to Lake Louise and Field, and other clips are titled for Mount Edith Cavell and the Robson Glacier. The reel box is marked "tent trailer."
The camera spends a long time on scenery: jagged snow-streaked peaks above green lakes, a wide river through spruce forest, a waterfall dropping into a narrow gorge, and glaciers seen from the bow of a boat crossing a mountain lake. Hikers with heavy packs cross a log footbridge and stand in alpine meadows. Wildlife turns up between the views: a marmot on a boulder beside a snowfield, a moose foraging among rocks, a bison calf, two hares in a field, and a bird of prey in a pine at dusk.
This footage fits productions about the Canadian Rockies, national park camping trips or alpine wildlife in 1979.
