Mt. Robson


We had a rare and lucky treat on Saturday. Our final destination for the day was Mt. Robson Provincial Park. Much like the Matterhorn in Switzerland, Mt. Robson is almost perpetually enveloped in a layer of fog and clouds. Agnes has driven this road may times and had never actually seen the mountain. As we started our final descent of the day we got a rare a quite spectacular view of the mountain. Definitely a photo op.

We started from backwoods Blue River, and continued following the Thompson River. As we progressed upstream the river grew more and more intense, with actual whitewater sections viewable from the road. I took dozens of pictures, not all of them frame-worthy.

Some of them, well, maybe so.
