Default Outdoor Pictures (attn: Thumper)


Wilcox pass (2nd pic)


My all time favorite picture. It is of Mt. Kitchener at night. I took this from my room window back in the 80s.

Athabasca Glacier. Thumper, been some changes since then ?

That picture of Mt. Kitchener is awesome and the Athabasca Glacier one is absolutely mesmerizing! Incredible. What year was that one taken?

Glacier picture taken mid 80s.

No Quail chick pictures. Parents even see me peeking out the window & they take them back inside. If I peek inside all heck breaks out. They are little rockets from about day two onwards. It's not worth stressing them for a picture.

Since I posted a picture of Wilcox Pass, I've been thinking of some other pictures of the area. Like from where I took that picture.
In this first one, I'm standing in the Pass, looking back at Mt. Athabasca (upper right corner)

In this next one, I'm standing on the ice, part way up the mountian.

This last one shows the ten minute "walk" to the summit of Mt. Athabasca.

Look at the second last picture, the "face" is the center bowl and to the right is a "slope" going up to a point. That climb is called Silverhorn. This is the route a friend and I took .
