By 'eck Chris, there's a lot of trees where you are! Great pics again. On your map are the figures in metres? I suspect they are, its quite difficult to judge how high you get :? That butterfly was superb and would have made my day too! Dave

It's 'forests R us' over here mate :lol: yeah those figures on the map are in metres, good point though, I should write the actual height achieved in the report somewhere. Most up to now are 6500-7500 feet...I'll try and remember to add it in future :D

Cheers Jonny...another foot of snow last night (including in the city) incredible to watch so much snowfall in such a short time, its wet stuff and will be gone from the streets in a couple of days but the mountains will be getting much worse :(

With all these wonderful reports you keep posting I'm starting to this a "Walk reports - ChrisW in Canada" section should be added to WH. :D


Thanks SMR, it will get worse (or better) when the snow eases a bit (snow warnings for the mountains today expecting another 25cm :roll: ) then I'll be piling in with several every week I reckon :D


My response is mainly a picture. It says more than words ever could

That's ideal, a stunning place in its own right and 12 hours of mountains between there and Calgary :shock: hard to imagine really isn't it, a continual width of almost 1000km of mountains and thats without heading north or south along the way :shock:
