Journey back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries and experience the unspoiled majesty of the Rocky Mountains with Camping In The Canadian Rockies by Walter Dwight Wilcox (1869-1941). First published in 1896, this classic text is far more than a camping guide--it is a significant historical and geographical record of early exploration and mountain climbing in what is now Banff and Jasper National Parks.

Wilcox, an American explorer, mountaineer, and photographer, spent several years traversing these then largely unmapped regions. His book is celebrated for its vivid descriptions of the landscape, its detailed accounts of early ascents (including Mount Assiniboine), and its practical advice for equipping and organizing long-term pack-train expeditions into the remote wilderness.

A Glimpse into Early Mountain Exploration:

  • Geographical and Scenic Description: Wilcox provides rich, detailed accounts of the geology, flora, and fauna of the central and southern Rockies, capturing the region’s beauty before mass tourism.
  • Exploration and Mountaineering: Chronicles the author’s own pioneering trips and first ascents of peaks in areas like the Columbia Icefield and around Lake Louise, highlighting the challenges of early mountaineering.
  • Logistics of Pack-Train Camping: Practical advice on the equipment and logistics of organizing extended trips using horses and mules to carry supplies, a necessary skill for deep wilderness exploration of that era.
  • Early Photography and Maps: The book is historically important for including some of the earliest photographs and maps of these remote areas, making it a key resource for historical researchers.

This book is an essential classic for Canadian Rockies historians, mountaineering enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and anyone fascinated by the era of geographical discovery in North America.
