THE SCENERY in the Canadian Rockies is deserved-
ly famous — massive jagged peaks topped with snow,
turquoise glacial Jakes and wildlife right by the road-
side.

Seeing the scenery from a different viewpoint is an
experience that combines adventure with the kind of
breathtaking surroundings the area is famous for.

A one-day ride down Kootenay National Park’s
Kootenay River or Yoho National Park’s Kicking
Horse River gives travellers an experience they will
remember.

The world’s most splendid mountain range is a
home to a collection of horse trails that will take
riders deep into the heart of that rugged wilderness.

. Pack trips for everyone from anglers to artists are

available, with some rides going through Mount Rob-
son Provincial Park and some crossing the Continen-
tal Divide as many as five times, taking the riders into
seldom-seen splendor. |

Covered with glistening glaciers, grassy alpine
meadows and gentle slopes, the Rockies are a hiker’s
paradise, offering an opportunity to enjoy a quiet
calm. ;

Backpacking, rock climbing and hiking day-trips
are just some of the popular attractions luring visitors
from all over the world to this mountain haven.

Provincial parks in the area have all the outdoor at-
tractions for exciting holidays. Mount Assiniboine
Provincial Park is as unspoiled as is possible, with
hiking and horse trails the only access to this paradise
of beauty.
