Check each night, next day’s programme. About the route The designed route is the most scenic and interesting route from .... to ..... If I’d be in the position to join you on your trip, I would guide you exactly the same way as presented in this itinerary. About the sights It has not been my intention to include every single activity along the route. Presented sights are carefully selected, based upon your preferences, the quality of the sights, and feasibility within the proposed day schedule. Example day itinerary by Tourguide Canada Page 3 Example itinerary Road trip Clearwater via Mount Robson to Jasper (single day example) Rockies, here we come! Today you leave the Cariboo Mountains as you travel towards the Rocky Mountains. Mount Robson (12,972 feet/3,954 m.) is the highest mountain of the Canadian Rockies. When travelling Hwy 16 eastbound, it is the first mountain you’ll hit, belonging to the Rockies Main Range. Proposed travel schedule excluding stops and/or optional activities 9.00 am Departure Clearwater 10.15 am Blue River 11.45 am Mount Robson 12.30 Entering - Mountain Time Zone + 1 hr - Alberta - Jasper National Park 2 pm Arrival Jasper, Alberta Important addresses for navigation Groceries IGA 5th Avenue Valemount, BC Robinsons 218 Connaught Dr, Jasper, AB Gas stations Clearwater Blue River Valemount Mount Robson Jasper Example day itinerary by Tourguide Canada Page 4 Example itinerary Sights and optional adventures along the route Blue River: River Safari A 1 hour River Safari per eco friendly boat. Good chances to spot wildlife such as black bears, grizzlies, bold eagles and moose. Contact: 1-877-4.WILD.BC (494.5322) Web: http://riversafari.com Rearguard Falls and Chinook salmon Distance: 0.6 km/0.4 mi one way. Return the same route. Elevation difference: 30 m./100 feet Trail head: 4 km / 2.5 mi east of junction Hwy 5 to Hwy 16. Watch for a sign post and car park. Reach the Rearguard Falls by the clearly marked short (15 min) descending trail. The Rearguard Falls viewpoint provides an excellent opportunity to witness the end of a long journey by the Chinook, largest of the Pacific salmon. These fish have survived several years at sea to return to the river of their birth, the mighty Fraser. From its estuary in British Columbia’s lower mainland to this point, the Chinook have traveled upstream over 1200 km. Some may be successful battling over these falls to reach the gravel above, but for most, Rearguard Falls marks the end of their journey. Your best chances to see the salmon are late summer. Mount Robson Provincial Park Mount Robson (12,972 feet/3,954 m.) is the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. A glacier covers the north facing side of its peak. 1911: first attempt to reach the top by George Kinney and Philip Curly. 1913: On a clear, cold day Conrad Kain - an Austian mountain guide, W.W. Foster and A.H. McCarthy were the first standing on top of this giant. Mount Robson is the first mountain in the Rockies to collide with the western winds. Therefore, Mount Robson receives 50% more rain than Jasper (located 53 miles east). Facilities at Mount Robson: Visitor Centre Cafeteria Gas station Example day itinerary by Tourguide Canada Page 5 Example itinerary Suggested Hike: Kinney Lake The trail winds through old-growth cedar/hemlock forest as it follows the Robson River to a hidden gem: Kinney Lake. This gentle hike offers incredible scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. Distance: 4.5 km/2.8 mi one way Elevation difference: 100 m./330 feet Trail head: Just north of the gas station and visitor centre at Mount Robson, a 2.4 km/1.5 mile bumpy and narrow road leading to the Berg Lake Trail parking lot. The trail starts at the bridge. Located directly after the second bridge, crossing the Robson River (4.3 km/2.7 mi) are picnic tables (left turn) and an outhouse (right turn). Return the same way.

A “park pass” is a permit that allows visitors to visit any national park in Canada during the time period in which it is valid. Anyone visiting, stopping for picnics and viewpoints, or visiting lakes and villages must purchase a pass. The correlating fee contributes to maintenance of scenic parkways, day use areas, updating information and public safety, trails and interpretation sites. As you will also visit Banff National Park and Yoho National Park, you should purchase a Family Group Pass @ $19.60 per day. Free admission in 2017 Parks Canada is inviting Canadians and visitors from around the world to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. To mark this special year, Parks Canada is offering free admission to all Parks Canada locations!

He did TED NORRISH this in order to spare his family any more embarrassment, but the papers at Cambridge show how Amery and his younger son Julian tried every way they could to save his life. Despite a psychiatric report by an eminent Mount Robson – 1961 practitioner, Dr Edward Glover, that he was definitely abnormal with a psychopathic disorder and schizoid tendencies, and the intervention of the South African Field Marshall General Jan Smuts, an AC member, who pleaded directly for clemency with the UK Prime Minister Clement Atlee, it was to no avail. Albert Pierrepoint, the public hangman, described John Amery in his autobiography as the bravest man he had to execute. However, germane to this tragedy, considered by Ronald Harwood as significant to John Amery’s story, is that his father had concealed his part- Jewish ancestry. His mother, Elizabeth Leitner, was actually from a family of well-known Jewish scholars. Leo Amery lost his seat in Parliament in the Labour landslide victory in the General Election of 1945, and refused the offer of a peerage. He was however made a Companion of Honour. Leo kept active in climbing circles almost to the end of his life, ignoring the advice of his old Canadian friend, Wheeler, who, quoting Whymper, advised him in a letter that, ‘a man does not climb mountains after his 60th year’.
