Reseña del editor:

The grandeur of the Canadian Rockies has captivated hearts and minds, challenged the daring and athletic and fired the imaginations of writers, photographers and other artists. In this book, images ranging from simple to iconic to surprising capture that rich heritage.

Discover the people, legends and little-known facts of this area's past. Meet the men and women who conquered peaks and built lives in mountain communities. Through narrative and image, revel in the parks and hinterlands that have endlessly fascinated tourists.

Faye invites locals and tourists alike to marvel at the photos, consider the science of the mountain landscape and catch glimpses of yesterday in the sports, culture and real-life adventure of Canada's Rocky Mountains.
