| | CANADIAN ROCKIES - THE GLITTERING MOUNTAINS OF CANADA: ASCENT OF MT. SASKATCHEWAN AND MT. COLUMBIA - 1925 |
 | | From the east, on the slope of Mount Coleman, we had gazed upon its unclimbed heights, wondering at its sheer forbidding face of snow-powdered cliff. |
 | | Mount Columbia, the despotic, white monarch of the icefield, on occasion - with an oft-worn crown of storm and mist removed — assumes an aspect more benign, although always serene and majestic. |
 | | Mount Alberta and Mount Bryce, respectively north and south of us, were things of primitive beauty, distracting attention from all the rest: Bryce, rising snowy heights one above the other, with avalanches falling from its savage north face; Alberta, cliff-ringed and austere, its head aloof and wreathed in clouds. |
