I studied YAB while doing a photography qualification, and he's one of my favourite photographers. His books are great, but if you get a chance then it's well worth seeing the live exhibits (usually outdoors in parks, or outside museums) where the images are printed at an enormous size.

I also seem to remember him saying that he intentionally underexposed the photographs by 1-2 stops to help bring out the deep colours you see.

For me, Banff & area are all about hiking. But there's still tons of stuff do do & see without plodding along a trail all day. Thats just what I like to do all day. In fact, just driving the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 North, to Jasper) is amazing, with lots of sightseeing opportunities, including the Columbia Icefields.

Get yourself a copy of Don't Waste Your Time in the Canadian Rockies. It's a phenomenal hiking resource for the National Parks. My personal favourite is Helen Lake.

You sound like an INFJ personality type and somewhat introverted like me. If so, you should read this book to better understand yourself and how you are not odd but different and you have a valuable place in the social and professional milieu:

For those looking to try this, the cheapest lens that'll give you solid photos would likely be this one: Rokinon FE14M-C 14mm F2.8 Ultra Wide Lens for Canon (Black) - Fixed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VSGQPG/

If you don't need a wide angle and are ok either stitching multiple photos or getting small shots, there are plenty of 50mm 1.4s that will give beautiful, albeit small framed, shots.

Tony Horwitz's book was awesome as well. (https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Rising-Brown-Sparked-Civil/dp/0312429266)

Please don't read just "Into Thin Air" to get the complete picture. Boukreev's book offers a kind of rebuttal to a lot of stuff that Krakauer wrote in his book. I am not picking one over the other. I just think you should hear multiple accounts of it, because Krakauer is pretty scathing in his attacks on Boukreev and I feel there is a little bias that comes through in his words.

I read a book about the 1980 eruption, and one of the parts that really stuck with me was Mr. Truman. He was made into a local hero for being stubborn and refusing to leave during evacuations because it was his home and he'd lived with the volcano for decades.

However, I think it was a reporter that went to interview him and said he appeared to be scared. I guess being thrust into a role as a folk hero made him stay despite starting to think otherwise...

EDIT: Here is the book for anyone interested.

Yes, this is correct, especially in California. Historically, native Californians would use fire annually and were an integrate part of the ecosystem, having a role just like animals, plants, and the weather. Anthropogenic fire played an important part as it encouraged growth of grasses crucial for hunting, cleared underbrush in forests for easier mobility, and also eliminated ground pests (mosquitoes, fleas, etc.), and would even reduce the amount of Poison Oak! The Early Spanish Explorer to the San Francisco Bay, Juan Crespi, described the forests as "park-like" and noted the extensive use of fire being used by Native Californians in 1770. Since fire was regularly used, fuel loads were minimal and were mainly ground fires, rarely reaching the crown. In fact, it is theorized that if fire was regularly introduced into California ecosystems, the large scale, devastating crown fires would become a rarity and not the norm. However, there are a several political factors as well as cultural that would prevent this from happening. An interesting book on the subject is Stephen Pyne's Fire: A Brief History, definitely worth checking out.

tl;dr: Natural wildfires are important but so are controlled, anthropogenic fires to California ecosystems. Anthropogenic fire was crucial in the development of California ecosystems and to remove is just as dangerous, and negligent, as allowing fuel loads to accumulate and devastate the same ecosystems.
