Abstract: Pertains to the geological information and processes that have occurred in order to yield the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Baird takes the reader through a comprehensive analysis of the forces needed to create the beauty of the terrain. He does so with the hopes of facilitating a much deeper appreciation for both the beauty, and natural processes needed to yield a mountain range as extensive as the Canadian Rockies.
