Abstract | Adults need playgrounds. In 1907, the Canadian government designated a vast section of the Rocky Mountains as Jasper Forest Park. This work reveals the history of the upper Athabasca River watershed, and looks at two centuries worth of human history, tracing the evolution of trading routes into the Rockies' largest park. |
