Our Legends of the Rockies evening series returns this summer/fall with an exciting start: Meghan J. Ward, mountain writer and historian, joins us for a screening of her documentary Wildflowers: In the footsteps of Mary Schäffer Warren.
In Wildflowers, Ward recruits a team of creative women to revisit Mary Schäffer Warren's 1908 expedition to Jasper's Maligne Lake — retracing a route that carried her through the landscapes around the Lodge at Bow Lake. Blending backcountry adventure with historical research, the film demonstrates that sometimes we must look back to blaze a better trail forward.
Wildflowers premiered at the 2024 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival and has since toured worldwide. This is a rare opportunity to see it screened at The Lodge and learn more about Schäffer Warren's connections to this remarkable corner of the Canadian Rockies.
This special evening is all about great stories, amazing company, and unforgettable mountain vibes. We hope you’ll join us to soak it all in.
