Presentation: The Canadian Rockies: Accessible Paths, Peaks, and Glaciers

The Appalachian Mountain Club has a long tradition of leading trips to the Banff and Lake Louise areas. Whether part of the early 20th century explorations by early AMC members, or more recent visits by?AMC’s August Camp and AMC Adventure Travel trips, the area remains a unique and dynamic destination for travel of all stripes. On Tuesday, December 11, hear Roger Scholl, AMC Director of Chapter and Volunteer Relations, report on the recent AMC excursion he led to the Canadian Rockies at the Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, 04011. He and others spent 20 days exploring the paths, peaks, and glaciers in both provinces. Roger will show slides of great hikes in Lake Louise and Banff, Moraine Lake, Marion and Gorman Lakes, Helen Lake, Wolverine Pass, and others. Through Roger’s great slides and narrative, you can vicariously explore the alpine meadows, scenic summits, and limpid lakes of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. Join Chapter members and friends for a potluck dinner at 6pm and Roger at 7pm. Bring a potluck item to share and, if possible, your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be available. Roger’s talk will begin at 7pm and is free and open to the public. For information, please download a flyer (120KB PDF) or email Education Chair John Mullens.
