In the same way, the tourist who has crossed British Columbia has known the joys of the mountains. He has placed his feet on glacial ice, followed trails to snowy peaks, prowled among forbidding chasms and plucked flowers from the terraces of the valleys. Ang ling, hunting, canoeing, camping - all the sports of the Alpinist have contributed to those rare days of his excur sion into one of the most satisfying regions of the North American continent.
