that lies between British Columbia's mainland and offshore islands. I t is a trip of two nights and one day, skirting a mountainous shore deeply indented by long fiordlike arms of the sea, all along the way. Ports o f call include
the paper-making towns of Powell River and Ocean Falls.

Triangle extends to Jasper, following i n turn the famous
Skeena and B u l k ley Rivers and finally, j u s t before The
Great Divide, the upper reaches o f the Fraser River. This
third leg, like the first, swings past Mount Robson, highest
of all peaks in the Canadian Rockies.
This is the perfect vacation trip. I t includes incomparable
rail and sea voyages; spectacular alpine scenery and visits
to attractive cities. I t affords an opportunity to see ancient
Indian villages with their primitive culture and an opportunity t o enjoy the beauty and comfort o f Jasper Park
Lodge, one o f the most famous summer resorts i n the
world. I t has something for everyone.
The t w o lines o f the Canadian National Railways between the Rockies and the Pacific Coast, and the waterborne route o f the same company between Vancouver and
Prince Rupert, comprise The Triangle Route which offers
one of the most famous vacation trips in North America.
Taking Jasper, in the heart o f the Canadian Rockies, as
the focal point, one leg o f the triangle extends westward
through the Rockies, the Selkirks, and other ranges to the
Pacific Ocean a t Vancouver. I t follows i n part the upper
reaches o f t h e Fraser River, t h e n t h e turbulent N o r t h
Thompson River to its confluence w i t h its south branch,
and finally moves along beside the lower reaches o f the
Fraser to the sea. From Vancouver, side trips t o Victoria
and Vancouver Island can be made b y boat o r by TransCanada A i r Lines
From Vancouver, the water-borne route extends northward t o Prince Rupert along the sheltered Inside Passage

VANCOUVERFrom Vancouver, T h e Triangle Route moves eastward
and northward over the main transcontinental line o f the
Canadian National Railways. A few miles from Vancouver
it crosses the Fraser River and begins t o move along its
left bank i n t o country that grows more mountainous as
miles succeed one another. A s the line climbs northward,
the river becomes more tumultuous, boring through deeper
and deeper canyons, reaching a crescendo o f noise and
awesomeness at Hell's Gate, a few miles from Boston Bar.
Where the line swings away from the Fraser to follow
the main Thompson River, the character o f the country
changes. T h e mountains, while high, are not so heavily
forested, and this continues t o Kamloops where the railway leaves the main stream to follow its north branch.
Along the North Thompson the railway climbs through
a narrow, heavily forested valley, close to the river, with
snow-hooded peaks starting to show here and there along
branching valleys. Above Blue River, the route passes so
close t o Rainbow Falls that the cars are sprinkled by its
spray. Near here the climb over Albreda Pass starts. From
the top o f the pass the great Albreda Glacier is visible.
Beyond Albreda the line approaches the valley and soon
enters Tete jaune Pass across which the splendor of Mount

Vancouver, third largest city in Canada has good reason
to claim to be its most beautiful. I t lies in an amphitheatre
of mountains beside a large and perfect deep-sea harbor.
To the beauty o f the settings that nature has provided,
man has added his own. N o city could improve upon the
beauty and layout o f its residential areas, t h e exquisite
campus o f the University o f British Columbia above the
Gulf of Georgia on Point Grey. Its driveways are numerous
and scenically excellent. N o city anywhere has a municipal
playground that in area or natural magnificence can match
Stanley Park almost in the heart o f Vancouver. There are
beaches and golf courses galore; excellent stores for shopping; good fishing and hunting a few miles from the city
limits, and, t w o blocks f r o m the main business district,
the Hotel Vancouver, one o f the best hotels on the continent.
A f e w minutes distance from Vancouver by air, a few
hours b y boat, i s Victoria, capital o f British Columbia.
This delightful city has aptly been described as a corner of
England. I t is a city of unforgettable charm and beauty and
is the main gateway to Vancouver Island, which, i n itself,
is a vast a n d restful playground, literally dotted w i t h
attractive stopping places, large and small, a n d offering
an extraordinarily wide range of vacation facilities from sea
bathing to fishing for the great tyee salmon which for size
and fighting qualities are unique among sporting fish.
There is an indefinable something about Victoria and
Vancouver Island that impels the visitor w h o has once
been there to return again and again. I t matches the beauty
of nature with its own serenity. I t evokes admiration and
induces rest. I t has never consciously tried t o vie with o r
to emulate other places. In that way it has achieved distinction and attained perfection.

VA N C O U V E R — PRINCE RUPERT
Words are inadequate to describe the grandeur o f the sea lane between
Vancouver and Prince Rupert. I t lies between t h e mainland o f British
Columbia and the off-shore Vancouver and Queen Charlotte Islands. Therefore, except f o r one narrow strait which is crossed i n a couple o f hours, i t
is sheltered all the way.
The mainland and the two island groups, i n close sight all the way, are
rugged, mountainous terrain with here and there an ice-tufted crest o f an
inland peak gleaming above the densely forested slopes of the nearer heights.
The shore-line o f the mainland is deeply indented by long, twisting arms
of the sea that lend to the ever-changing scenery a fiord-like quality to be
found nowhere else outside o f Norway. Ye t i t is not Norway nor does i t
pretend to be. I t is Canada and a very beautiful part o f Canada. Each mile
of shore line discloses a new beauty to the eye and writes a new gay line
on the pages o f memory.

VANCOUVER
PRINCE RUPERT — JASPER
The seven hundred miles of railway line between Prince
Rupert and Jasper go through some o f the most spectacular scenery i n Canada. Rivers, canyons, valleys a n d
mountain peaks, the country is on a big scale, and i n the
midst o f its w i l d ruggedness lie charming pastoral oases.
Northern British Columbia is not only a land o f immense
forests, famous f o r their timber, a land o f mines and
fisheries, a haunt o f big game hunters, b u t i t is also a
gentle fruit-farming country. I n history as i n geography,
it i s a l a n d o f contrasts. Weather-worn totem poles i n
Indian fishing villages along the Skeena, old trading posts
and forts, stand as symbols of the past; high steel railway
bridges and modern towns are symbols of the present.
Leaving t h e city o f Prince Rupert o n Kaien Island,
itself a fascinating mixture o f past a n d present, y o u
follow the Skeena River for more than 300 miles before
you go into the valleys o f the Bulkley, the Endako, the
Nechako and the Fraser. The Skeena is a mighty river,
three miles wide in some places; a mysterious river, often
shrouded i n clouds and mist; and a busy river, w i t h its
innumerable fishing craft and its salmon canneries. Names
like Tyee and Sockeye give you one aspect o f its nature.
Soon after passing over the broad plateau at Terrace, the
fruit centre famous f o r its strawberries, you come to the
edge o f Kitsalas Canyon, whose wild waters have wrecked
many a steamer, and soon you are in the old Indian village
of Kitwanga, with its colonnade o f totem poles, hemmed
in by high mountains. N o t far away lies Temlaham, the
Indian Garden o f Eden.
The greatest t h r i l l o f a journey f u l l o f thrills i s the
canyon i n the Bulkley River, and the renowned Gate, a
dyke o f solid rock, eight feet thick, 150 feet high and 50
feet wide, that juts out across the river, f o r all the world
as i f ambitious human masons had set o u t t o dam the
turbulent river.
The railway follows t h e fertile B u l k ley plateau and
valley—dairying, fruit, grain and minerals—for 90 miles,
and the Endako for about the same distance. Make a note
of Burns Lake. I t is the entrance t o Tweedsmuir Park,
which you may wish to visit some day.
But now your course is east, through the Nechako and
Fraser valleys, t o Mount Robson and Jasper.

GRANDEUR
Jasper is the largest
national p a r k i n
America. But i t is big
in more than area. Long
mountain r a n g e s , w i t h
peaks that s o a r i n t o the
region o f e t e r n a l ice and
snow, f l a n k widespreading
valleys; l o n g w i n d i n g rivers,
mighty waterfalls, great expanses
of shining lakes and the tumbled
ice o f vast glaciers, give the park
such a scale as you expect to find i n
the Rockies. Ye t the little things that
make mountains a j o y are here, too:
the hills you can climb easily on f o o t o r on horseback;
the little alpine meadows brimming with wildflowers; the
quiet creeks and babbling brooks; the tiny, gleaming tarns;
the chipmunk as well as the moose, the bluebird as well
as the eagle.
With Jasper Park Lodge, t h e enchanting village o f
bungalows on the shore of Lac Beauvert, as your headquarters, o r one o f the hotels o r camps i n town o r near it,
you may explore the diversities o f this magnificent park
in a diversity o f ways. Yo u may walk, o r ride, climb, or
take your ease, sightseeing from a motor car. There are
hundreds o f miles o f motor highways and pony trails.
They take you t o the incredible Maligne Lake, o r the
Tonquin Valley, to the foot o f the Angel Glacier on the
slope of radiant Mount Edith Cavell, to the eighth Wonder
of the World, the Columbia Icefield.
You may play golf on one o f the finest courses in the
world; play tennis; swim i n a delightful open-air heated
swimming pool; fish f o r fighting trout. Jasper is a wild
animal sanctuary, and i f you want to bag bears, deer, moose,

Jasper Park Lodge doesn't look l i k e a hotel; i t was
built i n keeping with its surroundings; but i t has all the
comforts and conveniences o f the most up-to-date hotels
in the city—electric light, hot water, good beds, topnotch
meals, music, a ballroom f o r dancing o r movie shows, a
spacious lounge w i t h stone fireplaces, where y o u may
read, or play cards, or simply doze and dream after a day
in the saddle or on the golf course.
The lodge grounds have been carefully but not ornately
landscaped. Broad expanses o f emerald lawn cleverly embroidered w i t h flowers and shrubs flow down the gentle
slopes that lie between the lodge and Lac Beauvert, a mirror
in which the mountain peaks about reflect their own perfection. I n the lake beavers swim; unharmed and unharming,

THE TRIP T O BERG L A K E
One o f the finest scenic trail trips i n the
Rockies i s f r o m M o u n t Robson " D u d e
Ranch" to Berg Lake, a distance of 16 miles,
four of which may be covered by automobile
and twelve by saddle horse. From the cedar
groves through which the trail runs, across
the canyon of the Fraser River, up the banks
of the Grand Fork River, which roars along
rapids and cascades t o that placid sheet o f
water, Kinney Lake, the visitor is constantly
being presented w i t h different aspects o f
Mount Robson. From Kinney Lake the trail
enters the Valley of a Thousand Falls, whose
walls reach u p f o r 6,700 feet, w i t h waterfalls cascading down them all the way along.
Past W h i t e Falls, Falls o f t h e Pool, and
Emperor Falls, the last o f which i s visible
from many points o n the trail, and t o the
shores o f Berg Lake, one is greeted by new
and ever-changing scenes with each t u r n o f
the trail.
The saddle trip t o Berg Lake, while not
unduly strenuous o r difficult, climbs some
2,600 feet, and its superb scenery invites a
leisurely pace, with time out for photography
at the many lovely viewpoints. T h i s scenic
trail is a photographer's paradise. Mr. Hamilton Jones, of Buffalo, filmed i t in color and
won the first World's Amateur Motion Picture Championship with i t in 1937.
From the ranch to the camp at Berg Lake
one should allow s i x hours, o r a slightly
shorter time if the first four miles are covered
by car. Guests arriving by Canadian National
trains from the West, or by local train from
Jasper, reach the ranch about noon and may
easily be at Berg Lake in time for dinner. As
the regular westbound trains d o n o t reach
Mount Robson station t i l l the middle o f the
afternoon, i t is not practical t o proceed t o
Berg Lake the same day, b u t guests may
leave early the following morning. Returning
from Berg Lake, one easily reaches the ranch
in time to make westbound trains, but those
going east should plan t o stay overnight at
the ranch.
