The historic Curly Phillips Boathouse floating nicely below Leah Peak on a windy day. Taken on last day of the season at Maligne Lake.
"Donald Nelson "Curly" Phillips was a Canadian guide, outfitter, entrepreneur, and explorer who was a part of many pioneering expeditions in the northern Canadian Rockies in the early twentieth century. He settled in Jasper, Alberta, and was involved in the development of mountain tourism in the region.
He built the historic boathouse in 1928 to accommodate the guests of his hunting and fishing trips. To boost his business, he raised the Maligne Lake rainbow trout, which he transported in barrels to Maligne Lake. Until his sudden death in an avalanche in 1936, he lived and dwelt in the boat house, which is now run by the Maligne Lake Tours." Wiki
