    The Spanish Navigations in the SPANISH LAKE (Pacific Ocean) and their Precedents From the Discovery of the New World (Indies, later America) Spanish explorers threw themselves with “gusto” into further discoverings and expeditions. They carried in their crew not only the “conquerors” and explorers, but also priests, public administrators who would judge the area’s value for colonization, linguists, scientists, and artists. These complete set of crew members charted the coasts, the currents, the winds, the fauna and flora, to report back to the crown for future actions and references. A very important part of the Spanish explorations, is the extent and role of local peoples in Spain’s discoveries. It was the objective of the crown that friendly connections and integration be made. In fact there were “civil wars” among the crown and some “colonizers” to enforce the Laws of Indies which so specified. Today, some of this information has been lost, but most is kept in public and private Spanish Museums, Libraries, Archives and private collections not only in Spain but in the America’s, Phillipines, the Vatican, Germany, Holland, and other european countries, and of course the United States, which over its 200 year existence as a nation, also managed to collect important information of the early explorations. Following is a synopsis of the Spanish adventure in the Pacific Ocean (Lago Español) and its precedents.

  • Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue
    1 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue Garibaldi Provincial Park, located in the traditional territory of the Squamish people, forms much of the backdrop to Whistler/ Blackcomb, site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Games. Sitting in the heart of the Coast Mountains, the park takes its name from the towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount Garibaldi. Garibaldi Park is known for its pristine beauty and spectacular natural features. Just 70 km north of Vancouver, the park offers over 90 km of established hiking trails, and is a favourite year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Interesting Garibaldi Park Facts • The southern portion of Garibaldi Park is home to the Garibaldi Volcano, part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and made up of Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome. This stratavolcano, so named because of its conelike layers of hardened lava, rock and volcanic ash, last erupted 10,000 to 13,000 years ago under glacial ice. It is this event that is responsible for forming some of the fascinating geological features in the park, such as Opal Cone, the Table and Black Tusk. • The “Barrier” is a natural rock formation created by the volcanic explosion of Mount Price thousands of years ago; the lava created a natural dam for the melt streams from nearby glaciers. As a result Garibaldi Lake formed. The lake reaches depths of up to 300 metres in places and is rich in silt (or ‘rock flour’), which gives the lake its characteristic milky blue colour. www.bcparks.ca 2 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue History In 1860, while surveying Howe Sound on board the Royal Navy ship H.M.S.

  • Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter the Spanish Legend, That
    The Spanish in Hawaii: Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter The Spanish legend, that somehow Spain anticipated all other Europeans in its discovery and presence in most every part of the New World, extends even to the Pacific Ocean area. Spain's early activity in Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California reinforces the idea that Spain was also the early explorer of the Pacific Islands. The vast Pacific, from its European discovery in Panama by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, until almost the end of the 18th Century, was part of the Spanish overseas empire. Generous Papal recognition of Spain's early discoveries and an attempt to avert an open conflict between Spain and Portugal resulted in a division of the non-Christian world between those Iberian powers. Though north European nations were not in accord and the King of France even suggested that he would like to see the clause in Adam's will giving the Pope such sweeping jurisdiction, Spain was convinced of its exclusive sovereignty over the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Philippine Islands. Spain strengthened both the Papal decree and the treaty signed with Portugal at Tordasillas by observing the niceties of international law. In 1513, Nunez de Balboa waded into the Pacific, banner in hand, and in a single grandiose act of sovereignty claimed the ocean and all of its islands for Spain. It was a majestic moment in time—nearly one third of the world was staked out for exclusive Spanish control by this single imperial act. And Spain was able to parlay this act of sovereignty into the creation of a huge Spanish lake of hundreds of thousands of square miles, a body of water in which no other European nation could sail in peaceful commerce.

Connect With Nature K. Smtih K. Smtih OUR STORY During a celebrated expedition to explore the West, Dr. James Hector travelled ahead of the group, and became the rst European to discover a steep mountain pass in 1858. After the surgeon’s trusty steed knocked him over with a blow to the chest, the spectacular route was dubbed Kicking Horse Pass. Later, the Canadian Pacic Railway, whose transcontinental route travelled through the pass, set up restaurants at the base of Mount Stephen to avoid pushing heavy dining cars up the mountain. This laid the groundwork for creating the Mount Stephen Reserve, renamed in 1901 as Yoho National Park. Eight years later, a visiting scientist, Dr. Charles Doolittle Walcott, discovered the Burgess Shale fossils on Mount Wapta. These exquisitely preserved marine organisms offer a glimpse back more than 505 million years ago. With fossils designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 36 peaks soaring above 3 000 m, the rambunctious Kicking Horse River and numerous breathtaking waterfalls, it is no surprise Yoho was named after a Cree expression meaning “awe and wonder.” A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE Four of the mountain national parks—Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay—are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization as part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, for the benet and enjoyment of all nations. Among the attributes that warranted this designation were vast wilderness, diversity of ora and fauna, outstanding natural beauty and features such as Lake Louise, Maligne Lake, the Columbia Iceeld and the Burgess Shale.

    Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle May 2012 Presidential Musings Fellow Hikers: I am happy to report that our club membership has climbed well over the 100 mark again! Welcome to the "Newbies" and welcome back to the "Grizzled Veterans". Even though there have not been many trips out yet, hopefully you have been outdoors enjoying the summer-like weather ,stretching those unused winter bound muscles and generally getting back into the swing of summer. The month of June is the month we now get serious about hiking, unfortunately due to back issues I may not see anyone on the trails for a while. (I never did the stretches Ha Ha) . I will definitely be thinking of hiking to the top while I recover. Remember to let the trip leader know if you can't make a trip you have signed up for as there is always a waiting list of fresh eager folks wanting to go in your place. Enjoy the hikes while you’re out meeting new hikers, be wise and hike safely. ************************************* Next meeting Wednesday June 13, 7:30 at Kerry Wood Nature Center ************************************* "One does not climb to attain enlightenment, rather one climbs because he is enlightened." -- Zen Master Futomaki Central Alberta Mountain Club Chronicle Page 2 Crimson Lake Hike/Social Nicole’s Notes The first hike of the season this year was the 10 km Amerada Trail that loops around Crimson Lake.
