 | Comments: |
beautiful day to be in the mountains today except for the smoke from the Canada wildfires (which seemed to get worse as the day went on).
Follow the link to one photo that I took from the hut -- despite the haze, it turned out decent to show the distant summits -- LOL!
Otherwise, I would note that water in gale river is as clear as any I've seen. It's a thing of beauty. |
