Through the heart of the Rockies and Selkirks

National parks are maintained for all the people, They exist in order that every citizen of Canada may satisfy his soul-carving for Nature and Nature's beauty; that he may absorb the poise and restfulness of the forests; that he may steep his soul in the brilliance of the wild flowers and the sublimity of the mointain peaks; that he may develop in himself the buoyancy, the joy, and the activity he sees in the wild animals; that he may stock his brain and his mind as he would a warehouse with the raw material of intelligent optimism.
