Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...] The somewhat peculiar boundaries of the Canadian National Parks may call for a word of explanation. It will be noticed that on their western, or rather southwestern, sides Rocky Mountains and Jasper Parks stop at the continental divide, or in other words at the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. The explanation is this: when British Columbia came into the Dominion she retained control of the public lands within her borders; on the other hand when the province of Alberta was created her land remained vested in the Dominion. Consequently the federal authorities may establish national parks wherever they will on the Alberta side of the[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether traveling among the mountains or climbing, hiking, or skiing, have you ever wondered where the names of the peaks, rivers and lakes ever came from, or who named them and why? This book is an effort to do just that for a particular part of North America that rivals the European Alps in fame. Climbing and exploration in the Canadian Rockies and the interior ranges of British Columbia is relatively recent compared to that of Europe’s Alps whose golden age occurred in the early 1800s. Much of British Columbia was only known with the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, and peaks exist that are yet unclimbed — and in some cases unnamed. Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and British Columbia’s Selkirks, Purcells, Cariboos and Monashees compose what is here referred to as the “Canadian Alps.” The authors have done all within their scope of knowledge and expertise and relied on many outside sources to compile this text, which is meant as an entertaining and informative treatise on the toponymy of this increasingly popular alpine region. Accompanied by the photographs of Glen W. Boles and Roger W. Laurilla, co-authors with William L. Putnam, here is a book any avid mountaineer, skier or hiker will require in his or her library. Visitors from abroad, whether active in the mountains or not, may find this book an informative necessity as they drive through our mountain national parks. For the authors, this book has been a labor of love — for the mountains they love and for all those who love the mountains and find themselves curious of the names bestowed on the geographic features surrounding them.
