the cost can be afforded or avoided by going elsewhere, you are just a whiny crybaby. pay up or shut up

Can't afford it can you poor boy. That's what happens when your president wrecks your economy. A couple years ago this would have cost you about 50% less

Last summer I went to Glacier NP AND Waterton Lakes. Glacier was much less expensive and JUST AS nicely run/maintained etc. I guess it's just part of the Canadian mentality to squander money through big gov't and get no real extra ROI for that extra expense. Um, charging tourists high prices isn't squandering money. It's classic capitalism - setting the price as high as the market will bear Funny to hear you whining about basic Adam Smith stuff like that. If you don't want to pay the fees don't go to Banff. The millions of other tourists that do want to go can pay.

why don't you visit mexico if you want cheap, crybaby

I think you are more likely to get pwned than earned by this route.

Mt Sir Douglas has an easy glacier route in K-Country If you are by yourself and want to do snow/ice instad of rock cause its easier why not do the scramble route on Mt Edith. It is well described in the Alan Kane guide

I don't care how much, you, I, how many beers I owe you in the past. this one I'm going to pay off on. OK?

I don't know about livestock, but growing your own veggies is WAY more efficient than getting them from agribusiness, and the veggies are far more nutritious if you use sound organic practices. I grow them on my parking strip on a small city lot, using homemade compost and home mixed organic fertilizer from bulk materials purchased once a year on the way to a climb. I just walk out of my front door and harvest. I gather about half the seeds I need from my plants. No pesticides or oil based fertilizers. Total recycling. It doesn't get more efficient than that. Quick - make a spreadsheet with all the vegetable products you consume in a year and tell me what % of them you grew yourself. How much of the bread you ate came from your own hand-raised wheat? How much coffee did you shade-grow?

It's significantly more efficient, both in terms of energy/ecological footprint, and in terms of person-hours, to grow vegetables and raise livestock in centralised operations than it is to distribute them to the point where everyone has to hunt and gather.

good stuff, i heard the regular start is better protected
