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.

  • Horse Stables
    Horse Stables For generations trail riding has given visitors the time to get the most from the park’s surroundings which are always scenic and often spectacular with the added benefit of not expending too much of their own energy.1 Being able to rent a horse in the park was and is a decided visitor attraction. Shortly after the end of the First World War, in 1921, the first horse rental operation was opened by L. John Bevan,2 a guide and outfitter with 20 years’ experience in the Rockies.3 He provided customers with everything necessary for their ride or outing. All rates were established by the government and printed or posted as necessary.4 Bevan also guided hunting parties outside the park boundaries at rates that he was free to set according to the services provided. Bevan was 39 years old when he started at Waterton having immigrated from Wales 20 years before.5 He applied for a lease in 1921 in the lower park compound area where he built a five-room log house, stable and storage building.6 Despite having been given good reviews in The Lethbridge Herald and advertising on a regular basis, he soon sold his business to the Morris Brothers in 1924.7 The Morris Brothers, Scott,8 Eugene, Edward and Cliff, operated their business from the same base as had Bevan where they had a cabin, stable and corral.9 Their timing was excellent as the post-war park improvements began coming to fruition. Among the improvements were a public golf Horseback riding in the mountains is a time honored course, one of the first in the region, tradition.

    MEDIA INFORMATION BACKGROUNDER Origins The Post Hotel & Spa first opened its doors in the spring of 1942 as the Lake Louise Ski Lodge. Built by the noted guide and packer, Jim Boyce of Banff, it was constructed of logs brought from Revelstoke and from the headwaters of the Bow River. The Post Hotel was completed in a remarkably short time, with a crew of ten men who relied mainly on simple hand tools. Its first season of business was a short one. The war, amongst other reasons, forced the Lodge to close its doors until the Hotel was re-opened in the summer of 1948. Sir Norman Watson, a British aircraft manufacturer, acquired the Ski Lodge with its adjacent cabins in 1947. Sir Norman was an avid sportsman who had travelled extensively in the Swiss Alps and its ski resorts. Drawing from these experiences, he developed a firm belief and vision for the future of skiing in the Canadian Rockies. When Sir Norman purchased the Ski Lodge, he had already built Temple Chalet in the Ptarmigan Valley and Skoki Lodge by the Little Pipestone River. For those planning to ski or hike in the backcountry or visiting the chain of lodges, it seemed convenient to stay at the Lake Louise Ski Lodge close to the railway station. In 1957, sparked by a need for change, the Lake Louise Ski Lodge adopted the name “Post Hotel” for two reasons: to recall the many Post Hotels in the Alps and because an additional building on the property was leased to the Post Office.
