History
Atlee Bridges was born in 1888 and was a avid hiker, doing many long arduous hikes in the Cranbrook BC area, where he married and raised three daughters. He and his wife Margaret retired to Victoria BC and lived there for many years. In July 1948 he and a party of other hikers completed a week-long trip to Forbidden Plateau in Strathcona Park, compiling a diary of the trip in the form of an album containing photos as well as typed and handwritten notes. At the time of the hike Bridges was 60. He died in 1977 at the age of 89.
