Original Toronto Star caption: A tiny group of 30 persons; most of whom had hiked form distant homes in the mountains; greeted the King and Queen when they stopped at the lonely Rocky Mountain station of Mount Robson. Even this wilderness outpost had its quots of amateur photographers who clicked away with cameras of every size; shape and description; while their majestics walked and talked with them. Ten minutes later the royal train pulled away from the loyal group.
