Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a Rocky Mountain Tours Company bus stopped along the roadside in Banff National Park. A road stretches along the bottom edge on an upward angle from left to right. In the near distance and on the far side of the road, a bus is parked, left-of-center. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side, facing left. Passengers aboard the bus are visible behind the bus's windows. One of the passengers is Mertie West. She sits at the first window behind the driver's seat and looks to the camera. Along the side of the bus, markings read, "BANFF - LAKE LOUISE - JASPER Rocky Mountain Tours Co."
