Worried about global
warming? This was sunny southern BC in mid October. A stunning and
beautiful hike made so pretty with all the snow. Long with a lot
of altitude but we thoroughly enjoyed it! And a soak in the hot
springs (Radium) afterwards! |

a backdrop, and Moraine Lake, who could ever ask for more? |
