This was the hardest set of photos to put together. My initial cull contained thirty two images… way too many for a blog post. I aim for about half a dozen photos per post so as not to bore you loyal!
So, here are the results of a second and third pass through the initial thirty two: six images concentrating on water features instead of mountains and one closeup image of a mountain peak.
I had to include the photo of the peak of Mount Robson because it is so rare.
We arrived back at the Mount Robson visitors center near our campsite late one evening. (This frame was exposed around 8:30 PM local time). The light was perfect and the summit more-or-less visible as the clouds swirled about it. Thus, dinner was further postponed!
One of the locals/regular visitors present excitedly informed us that the peak of Mount Robson is only visible about thirty days per year. Like many tall mountains (Mt Robson at 3,954 meters/ 12,972 ft is the tallest in the Canadian Rockies), it makes its own weather. We certainly witnessed that as clouds kept forming and dissipating the entire time we watched the mountain.
The following morning one could only see the bottom third of the mountain! Sometimes one gets lucky!
