File pertains to a photograph album depicting trips taken by Lillian Gest, usually during the summer, from 1934-1937.
The 1934 trip was part of the Alpine Club of Canada Annual Camp in northern Jasper National Park - starting in the Eremite Mountain area and working east towards Mount Edith Cavell. Also includes a few photographs of mountains around the Banff town area.
