THE ALPINE CLUB OF CANADA PORTFOLIO
This expedition has fascinated me for years because of it’s serious yet flamboyant nature. This was not an expedition into virgin territory. Viscount Milton and Dr. Cheadle traveled from Edmonton to Kamloops via the Yellowhead Pass in 1862 and described Mt. Robson and Tete Jaune Cache in their book The North-West Passage by Land published in 1865.
The Alpine Club of Canada was formed in 1906 through the individual, and later joint efforts of Arthur O. Wheeler, a Dominion Surveyor, and Elizabeth Parker, a journalist with the Winnipeg Free Press.

Byron Harmon was a charter member and official photographer.
