Clear Lake

For a story in the August 1955 issue, National Geographic staff writer Ralph Gray packed up his family and their station wagon to follow the trail of 18th-century fur trader Alexander Mackenzie from Montreal to Bella Coola, British Columbia. Here, two of the kids wash the car while stopped by Clear Lake, Manitoba.
