Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 8 Oct: Banff, AB to Radium Hot Springs, BC – 144 miles

Friday, 8 October 1937

Left Banff – went to the beautiful Lake Louise, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies with its significant chateau from which radiate numerous motor & pony trails, the place being closed now until about June [Banff Springs Hotel]]. Had lunch, and then started for the Hot Springs. Did 144 miles, all through the Rockies. High mountains covered in snow on either side of us all the way. Wonderful trees, and poor roads all the way. Lovely scenery, very big enjoyed it very much. Got to Radium about 5.30. Got a very nice cottage of 2 rooms, big stove, plenty of wood. Will spend a good night writing to Sydney tonight.
