The quadrangle is mostly rugged and remote and includes much of the North Cascade National Park and several dedicated Wilderness areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Geologic exploration has been slow and difficult. In 1858 George Gibbs (1874) ascended the Skagit River part way to begin the geographic and geologic exploration of the North Cascades. In 1901, Reginald Daly (1912) surveyed the 49th parallel along the Canadian side of the border, and George Smith and Frank Calkins (1904) surveyed the United States' side. Daly's exhaustive report was the first attempt to synthesize what has become an extremely complicated geologic story. -

Subscription price monthly Bulletin and Annual, $5.00 per year. EDITORIAL STAFF: Alice Thorn, editor; Loretta Slat er, Betty Manning. Material and photographs should be submitted to The Mountaineers, at above address, before Novem ber 1, 1969, for consideration. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used. -

On May 19, 2016, Trans Mountain received the NEB’s Conditions for the Project. On November 29, 2016, the Government of Canada concluded the Project was in the public interest of Canada. A Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) and other authorizations allowing the Project to proceed, subject to 157 conditions, were issued and became effective on December 1, 2016. The Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area (CSRA or Recreation Area) Reclamation Plan (the Reclamation Plan) was prepared to meet Trans Mountain’s commitments to reclaim all protected areas disturbed by the Project using best practices, in consultation with British Columbia (BC) Parks. The Reclamation Plan is a site-specific plan that outlines the reclamation strategy and additional mitigation measures for areas in the Recreation Area that will be disturbed by activities related to the Project. The Recreation Area is located along the Coquihalla Highway, approximately 45 km northeast of Hope, BC, and contains a high diversity of plant communities and wildlife species. -
