Excerpt from A Guide-Book to the Lake Louise Region: Including Paradise Valley of the Ten Peaks, and Neighborhood of Lake O'hara

The purpose of this little guide-book is to help visitors to the Lake Louise region to spend their time as pleasantly as possible. For the hurried traveler, an outline is given of the most important trips. For those with unlimited time, a considerable number of excursions arc described - sufficient to occupy the better part of a month.

The area described embraces the immediate neighborhood of Lake Louise and the four adjoining valleys. This region is one of the most interesting parts of the Canadian Rockies, and is probably not excelled by any equal section in the world for the number and variety of its scenic attractions. In this part of the mountains, hardly ten miles square, are found twenty peaks, fourteen of which are over ten thousand feet and six are more than eleven thousand feet above sea-level. The supreme idea of grandeur in mountain forms, which is not dependent on height alone, is here realized in these precipitous cliffs, which rise from 3,000 to 6,000 feet above narrow, forested valleys. Glaciers two or three miles long, countless snow-fields, rushing torrents and waterfalls, rich forests, and park-like expanses of Alpine flowers compel unbounded admiration in every part of this region, but in one respect especially this part of the Canadian Rockies has no rival, whatever may be the diversity of opinion as to its other charms, and that is in the beauty of its lakes. At least three of these - Lakes Louise, Moraine, and O'Hara - are easily without peers in the Canadian Rockies, while McArthur and Wenkchemna lakes help make up a galaxy of mountain tarns unequalled in any part of the world.

The work is the result of many summers of climbing and scrambling in this the author's favorite part of the mountains.
