Although seeing the resplendent majesty of the Canadian Rockies in person has no substitute, the Sierra Club’s “Ansel Adams in the Canadian Rockies” captures the beauty in a book. I downloaded this visual documentary of Adams’ 1928 expedition for the Sierra Club when I returned from my tour, realizing Adams had trekked high into the mountains and over glaciers I only saw from afar. If I was cold, I could not imagine how he must have felt carrying his tripod and cameras.
The black and white photographs reminded me of my own adventures: Mount Edith Cavell, named after the World War II Canadian nurse/spy captured by the Germans; Mount Robson, the highest and most photographed peak (I have my own collection of shots); and the glaciers, most of which have steadily receded since Ansel photographed them. The Robson Glacier is now more than a mile from where Ansel found it in 1928.
Better than my postcards, better than all my own attempts at documenting my trip, “Ansel Adams in the Canadian Rockies” is my reminder of a wild adventure. If you have never been there, it’s worth a look at the book for a vicarious visit.

Beautiful pictures!
Thanks. The pix I posted are mine; you should see the great ones in the book. You can get a taste if you download the sample. Great trip but too cold for me.
You should have come to CA – it’s been over 100 for days! I’ve been to Canada’s Glacier Park, but not the Rockies. Your pictures are great, but I will download the sample.
Feels good to be back in the warm Hawaiian sun.
Looking forward to being there myself in about three weeks!
The tradewinds should be back by then. Happy travels.
