Mt. Kennedy: Brother Climbs Memorial Park
In the rugged Yukon Territory, few miles north of the British Columbia border, the Canadian Government has named an unsheltered mountain as a memorial to President John F. Kennedy. The first man to climb the peak is Senator Robert Kennedy, who carries the family flag to top and plants it where no man has ever trod before. Senator Kennedy had never climbed a mountain before. He says he will never climb another. Yukon, Canada Aerial of the snow covered mountains, sunny day. LS Helicopter hovering over Mountt Kennedy. CU Inside the helicopter cock pit.
