This awe-inspiring colorized footage sweeps you through Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, Canada, in 1930—nearly a century ago—revealing the Canadian Rockies’ breathtaking mountain gateways in vivid hues. Follow a couple’s luxurious Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton journey from Spokane, Washington, through winding roads, horse trails, and Sinclair Valley, culminating in a thrilling encounter with a black bear and her cubs (now illegal to feed). From Floc Lake’s serene beauty to Marble Canyon’s grandeur and Castle Mountain’s majesty, this restored film—set to Vadim Krakhmal’s evocative Ukrainian scores ("Dawn Mist," "Frozen Stones," "Adventure," "Through the Mist")—grips nature lovers and history buffs, offering a dazzling glimpse of Canada’s untamed wilderness before modern highways reshaped its paths.
