The mountain parks are for all Canadians for all time and their
value cannot be measured in terms of how many access roads, motels,
souvenir shops and golf courses we've provided. -Bob Jordan, 1971
The Alpine Club of Canada imagined the Rockies and neighbouring
ranges to the west and the north as a "climber's paradise." Through
a century of adventure and advocacy, the ACC led the way to
mountain pursuits in spectacular regions. Historian and mountain
studies specialist PearlAnn Reichwein's research is informed by her
experiences mountaineering and by her interest in mountain culture.
She presents a compelling case for understanding wild spaces and
human activity within them as parts of a whole. A work of
invaluable scholarship in the areas of environmental history,
public policy, sport studies, recreation, and tourism, Climber's
Paradise will appeal to many non-specialists, mountaineers,
environmentalists, and travellers across Canada and beyond.
