John Carter continues to keep us well informed on the cabins and trails in the area. Your continued in- volvement in the work parties he organizes is necessary to ensure the repair of the facilities we use in our outings. John Stewart has represented the club well in its conservation efforts by attending The Valhalla Park Prescent's Master Plan meetings, four other Mountain Parks meetings, as well as visiting South Moresby Island to add our voice to those seeking preservation of this Resort area. In addition, his efforts in coordinating this year's hiking camp, dispite a forest closure, were well ap- preciated by those attending hiking camp. by Fred Thiessen Jeff Ross, Karabiner Editor has produced the thickest issue in recent times, and our thanks to him.

  • Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003
    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.

THE exploration of the main range of the Canadian Rocky mountains lying between the sources of the Athabasca river and the Kicking Horse pass has been the subject of two papers read by myself before the Royal Geographical Society. In these two papers I attempted to give a description of some of the great snowfields that exist amongst the Rocky mountains, and also as far as possible to make clear the geo- graphy of a mountain district up till that time but little known.

    Gazetteer of Yukon Updated: May 1, 2021 Yukon Geographical Names Program Tourism and Culture Yukon Geographical Place Names Program The Yukon Geographical Place Names Program manages naming and renaming of Yukon places and geographical features. This includes lakes, rivers, creeks and mountains. Anyone can submit place names that reflect our diverse cultures, history and landscape. Yukon Geographical Place Names Board The Yukon Geographical Place Names Board (YGPNB) approves the applications and recommends decisions to the Minister of Tourism and Culture. The YGPNB meets at least twice a year to decide upon proposed names. The Board has six members appointed by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, three of whom are nominated by the Council of Yukon First Nations. Yukon Geographical Place Names Database The Heritage Resources Unit maintains and updates the Yukon Geographical Place Names Database of over 6,000 records. The Unit administers the program for naming and changing the names of Yukon place names and geographical features such as lakes, rivers, creek and mountains, approved by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, based on recommendations of the YGPNB. Guiding Principles The YGPNB bases its decisions on whether to recommend or rescind a particular place name to the Minister of Tourism and Culture on a number of principles and procedures first established by the Geographic Names Board of Canada. First priority shall be given to names with When proposing names for previously long-standing local usage by the general unnamed features—those for which no public, particularly indigenous names in local names exist—preference shall be the local First Nation language.

Whom shall I meet now? (Anne Carson, 2000, p. 133) This report is the result of 24 months of hard work and cooperation from a remarkable group of people who in themselves model the very best of what the Shuswap Hut-to-Hut Trail and Waterway concept envisions. If every trail tells a story, and the richness of a trail is in the experiences it guides us to, then the journey of friendships, dreams, disappointments and rediscovery, of natural wonders, and fine people met along the way are the true measures of its value. To everyone who has contributed to this pilgrimage into the landscape – a journey reflected in this report with plenty of untraveled trail ahead – thank you.
