The same result may be effected by taking Grand Trunk Pacific steamer from Seattle to Prince Rupert, and there beginning the eastward journey by the new Grand Trunk Pacific Railway along the Skeena River, past Mt. Robson, monarch of the northern Rockies, and through beautiful Jasper National Park to Edmonton, Alberta, 193 miles north of Calgary, with which it has frequent train connection. This programme will appeal to tourists who wish to see the Canadian Sierra, but who prefer to return east from the Rocky Mountains through the United States, instead of across the prairies of central Canada. Excursionists to Alaska who embark at Seattle, may disembark at Prince Rupert or Vancouver, B. C., from certain steamers, and, travelling east over the Grand Trunk Pacific or Canadian Pacific lines, re-enter the United States as above outlined.
