The average glacier may best be described as a vast body of ice filling some titanic mountain crev- ice, down which it slowly moves—the outlet of the snows which accumulate in the higher portions of the mountain crevices. In such mountainous local- ities the snows are even and the temperature not rising sufficiently for any considerable proportion to be melted and flow down, fill the spaces between the summits. By the pressure exerted by these vast collections the yielding material is forced through whatever opening is presented for its pas- sage, and the great valleys leading to the base of the mountains are packed full of ice which results from the snow being solidified by pressure, or by its own melting and freezing again. This great river of ice, solid as it appears, is steadily, although almost imperceptibly urged onward until it reaches a region down the valley where the temperature is sufficient- ly high to melt away the fore-foot of the glacier.

    Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park

    Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park By Claire Walter o borrow on old Ttravelogue cliché, Alberta’s Banff National Park is study in contrast. Its 2,586 square miles comprise both wilderness and civilization. There are high mountains, deep valleys, endless forests and abundant wildlife. Even though much of it feels and looks remote, it is just 70 miles from Calgary – and the Trans-Canada Highway runs right through it. It contains one large town (Banff), one smaller town (Lake Louise Village), two palatial hotels (the Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise) and three significant downhill ski areas (Ski Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay). It is a park among parks, with Kootenay National Park just to the south, Yoho National Park to the west (and in another province) and Jasper National Park to the north. It is Canada’s oldest national park and also the one with phenomenal snowshoe opportunities. It’s a great destination for a snowshoe getaway or a multi-activity winter vacation with snowshoeing among the options. There’s skiing (Alpine and Nordic), wildlife viewing, spa- hopping and enjoying the shops, galleries, restaurants and nightspots in Banff or quieter Lake 1 Go FartherTM Model: ARTICA™ BACKCOUNTRY q Two-Piece Articulating Frame q Virtual Pivot Traction Cam q Quick-Cinch™ One-Pull Binding q 80% Recyclable Materials, No PVC’s eastonmountainproducts.com ©2010 easton mountain products Louise Village.
