    fllie M®��1f�l]�r;r;m Published by Seattle, Washington..., 'December15, 1953 THE MOUNTAINEERS, INC. ITS OBJECT To explore and study the mountains, forests, and water cours­ es of the Northwest; to gather into permanent form the history and traditions of this region; to preserve by encouragement of protective legislation or otherwise, the natural beauty of North­ west America; to make expeditions into these regions in ful­ fillment of the above purposes ; to encourage a spirit of good fellowship among all lovers of out-door life. THE MOUNTAINEER LIBRARY The Club's library is one of the largest mountaineering col­ lections in the country. Books, periodicals, and pamphlets from many parts of the world are assembled for the interested reader. Mountaineering and skiing make up the largest part of the col­ lection, but travel, photography, nature study, and other allied subjects are well represented. After the period 1915 to 1926 in which The Mountaineers received books from the Bureau of Associate Mountaineering Clubs of North America, the Board of Trustees has continuously appropriated money for the main­ tenance and expansion of the library. The map collection is a valued source of information not only for planning trips and climbs, but for studying problems in other areas. NOTICE TO AUTHORS AND COMMUNICATORS Manuscripts offered for publication should be accurately typed on one side only of good, white, bond paper 81f2xll inches in size. Drawings or photographs that are intended for use as illustrations should be kept separate from the manuscript, not inserted in it, but should be transmitted at the same time.

    THE SCOTTISH jHountainming Clutr Journal. Vol. XV. A pril 1920. No. 89. THE CAIRNGORMS—AN APPRECIATION. By G. Murray L awson. When, in response to the urgent request of the Editor, I undertook the task of writing an article on the Cairn­ gorms, I was under the impression that little concerning this district had appeared in the Journal. It was only when I had settled down to my task—a labour of love, be it admitted—that I discovered my error, and that far abler pens than mine had done honour to these noble hills. It is, therefore, with considerable diffidence that I submit a few of the experiences which I have had and the impressions which I have gathered during my visits to the Cairngorm district. How well I recall my introduction to the Cairngorms! I and two friends, all of us clad in the scantiest of raiment __to wit football jerseys and shorts—sallied forth from Blair Atholl one sultry afternoon in August, each burdened with about thirty pounds’ weight of provender, cooking utensils, &c. There was also a tent, which seemed to expand into the dimensions of a large marquee during the day, and at night to shrink to the narrowest limits, and to impress its inmates with its total inadequacy as a shelter for three human beings. After a sleepless night spent at the Falls of TarfT, we proceeded to Braemar for very necessary sartorial reasons. These matters being satisfactorily adjusted, we made a fresh start on the third day.

    The Lake O'hara Region of Yoho National

    LAKE O’HARA AND LAKE OESA, YOHO NATIONAL PARK, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA The Lake O’Hara region of Yoho National Park is a restricted-access area: the 11+ kilometer access road is closed to public vehicles and bicycles, so the only way to get to Lake O’Hara is to hike in or ride the bus. As of July 2013, a seat on the bus could be reserved in advance, or a hiker could show up at the parking lot and be on stand-by in case one of the hikers with a reserved spot cancelled out. As we were unable to secure a spot on the bus, we hiked in. Bus-riders automatically get a spot on the bus back out from Lake O’Hara to the parking lot; walk-ins can also get a spot on the bus back out. It appears that, to make sure everyone leaves the Lake O’Hara area safely, they will take as many bus trips as needed to get the walk-ins back to the parking lot. For up-to-date information on this bus system, check the Yoho National Park website. These four photos show some views on the hike up the access road to Lake O’Hara: Panorama of nearby mountains on the way to Lake O’Hara: Looking across Lake O’Hara towards the valley where Lake Oesa is located after finally completing the hike up the access road: Another photo of Lake O’Hara as we begin in the clockwise direction on the trail around the lake Two panoramas showing reflections of distant mountains in the lake as we continued on the trail: After 0.8 km around the lake, we started on the trail to Lake Oesa, which climbs somewhat steeply through some short trees before reaching a rocky area: Looking back down the
