Phillips, Donald, 1884-1938. Mountaineering guides (Persons) -- Rocky Mountains, Canadian (B.C. and Alta.) -- Biography, Biography, Mountaineering, Alberta 

Tracks Across My Trail is the story of a dauntless young man from the woods of northern Ontario who tackled the greatest peak in the Canadian Rockies, Mount Robson, in 1909. With no experience and little equipment, he bravely supported Rev. George Kinney in four unsuccessful attempts to scale that icy and always dangerous mountain.

After this dramatic introduction to western Canada, Curly Phillips remained in Jasper National Park to become one of the select band of pioneers that led adventurers and mountaineers into remote wilderness valleys. the enterprising Phillips was involved in many activities besides outfitting trail parties -- trapping, building and operating boats at Maligne Lake, powerboat trips on the Athabasca and Peace Rivers, fly-in hunting, and backcountry skiing.
