Known for many years as Castle Mountain, eight miles long and 9,890 feet at its highest peak, this towering landmark is Canada's tribute to General of the Armies Dwight D. Eisenhower, G.C.B. Just as the likeness of the up-thrust peak to the turrets and battlements of medieval military architecture led to its original name, the four-square rugged quality of the great mountain inevitably suggested itself as a fitting emblem of the great military leader the people of Canada wished to honour."

Reflecting nature's many moods the glacier frowns, sparkles and sometimes-when storms play across its icy surface seems to withdraw itself from contemplation of the gay scenes below." Shown are three people on a horseback trailride.

On the back cover the following information appears: "Many visitors to the Canadian Rockies ask how the Kicking Horse River got its name and many answers are given - some of them based upon the credulity of the questioner. Even historians who have dealt at length with the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway differ among themselves. The generally accepted version is that James Hector, geologist with the survey party, was kicked by his own mount after helping to rescue a packhorse from an eddy of the swift-running river. Indian guides are said to have suggested the name. History neither confirms nor denies the local tales that Dr. Hector was actually kicked into the river. The idyllic scene pictured here is three or four miles west of Field, B.C., junction point on the mountain highway connecting Lake Louise with Emerald Lake Chalet and Yoho Valley Lodge, in the heart of spectacular country filled with unafraid wild life, leaping torrents, I'ocky crags. Mount Field, in the background, has an altitude of 8,655 feet."

The glass-screened pool, reflecting the same summer sun as the lake, is filled with constantly flowing water from the glacier-fed lake-warmed to a pleasant temperature. Its spectator gallery, like the poppy-banked terrace, is a pleasant vantage-point to contemplate Victoria Glacier or watch the strenuous start out for mountain trails on sturdy ponies."

In-varying degrees that urge can be satisfied afoot or by mountain pony by the paths that amble west and southward round the glacial finger lake. Worth seeing are the Lakes in the Clouds, the terminal moraine of Victoria Glacier and the Plain of the Six Glaciers."
