Headed South Again
This morning I got up early and headed over to the visitor center to seek a look at the mountain. Good move.
Mount Robson.
Tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
This picture was taken less than ten minutes later. Note the increase in cloud size.
Twenty minutes later there was a lenticular cloud over the mountain that was lowering to cover the peak.
From Mount Robson we headed south about 150 miles to another provincial park campground. Just north of this spot is an area consisting of several wilderness provincial parks. Access is mostly by trail but there is a road going through them that provides access to the trails and goes by several very nice water falls. Three of the falls are highlighted with large parking lots short, easy access trails to view them.
The falls are each different and each is spectacular in its’ own right.
This falls is over twice the height of Niagra. The picture doesn’t begin to give it justice.
This is a spot called The Mushpot. It is not a falls. Just a whole lot of water running over and around big rocks creating a boiling cauldron effect.
The small dot at the base of the rock upper center is a log about 20 inches in diameter and maybe two and a half feet long. It is caught in an eddy and will probably stay there ‘till the water flow changes. There was another in a similar situation a few yards down stream.
Next falls. Again, pictures do not begin to describe it. Tremendous amount of water.
Last of the three falls. Again pictures fail. Those rock walls are at least 500-600 feet high. The river has cut a very narrow slot canyon that ends half way down the face of the wall and dumps the water out into nothingness.
