Canadals Best Micro Wilderness in the middle of our biggest city? Check out Toronto's Rouge Park, our first Micro-Adventure (next page). C a n a d a ’ s B e s t M i C r o - ExpEditions sound likE fun—adventuring across new lands and waters for weeks or months at a time. But most of us a d v e n t u r e s can’t afford the time away from work and home. Plus, expeditions E x p E d i t i o n s w i t h o u t typically require advanced skills, lots of money and complicated c o m m i t m E n t — h E r E a r E logistics. But you can still put in a similar effort and experience the 21 micro-adv E n t u r E s t o same reward. All it takes is a subtle push your limits mindshift. Alastair Humphreys, an English By Ryan Stuart explorer, calls this new idea of ex- peditioning, “micro-adventures.” These are trips that are close to home, affordable, easy to organize and doable in short periods of time—but wild, original and chal- lenging. “Adventure is only a state of mind,” Humphreys says. “It is about doing what you do not normally do, pushing yourself hard and doing it to the best of your ability.” Imagine the possibilities here. That’s just what we did. Read on for 21 micro-adventures to get you started. And then get out there and find your own. Difficulty Ratings Easy: Barely sweating; it won’t hurt a bit.

Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them.
