These bits of mountain scenery made accessible by means of roads and trails are the means of bringing thousands and thousands of tourists, both native and foreign, to the Rockies every year, and in the same ratio as the tourist traffic increases, the mountains become more yahiable as a national asset. It is to encour- age this trafic that the Government builds and extends the mountain roads and trails each year. Many a tourist lingers, loath to leave till he has covered every carriage road, trail and footpath, none of which are there by accident, much as one would like to think that a few at least were relics of the savage men of yester- year. The Government or the rail- ways have had a hand im making them all, and without their efforts, even the most ambitious traveller would be deprived of much pleasure now to be enjoyed on a trip through the Canadian Rockies.
