Life of the Trail 3 traces the historic corridor from Old Bow Fort to Jasper, combining field-tested trail descriptions with archival stories. Emerson Sanford and Janice Sanford Beck pair first-hand hiking notes with research to show how 19th- and early-20th-century travellers moved through the Canadian Rockies.

The volume opens at the remains of Peigan Post (built 1832 at the west end of the Morley Reserve) and follows the main northbound route once busy with pioneers and explorers. The route is presented in three clear sections: Old Bow Fort to Lake Louise; Lake Louise to Sunwapta Pass; and Sunwapta Pass to Jasper.

Features:

• Detailed trail guide and firsthand anecdotes from extensive hikes
• Maps and colour photographs — historical and contemporary
• Contextual historical accounts of travellers and routes
