Mt. Robson - highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
Mt. Robson from the visitor center before we started backpacking.
Let the backpacking begin!
Just like Lake Wobegon where the women are strong & the man is good looking!
Note the pack sizes. Sheldon had to buy Kjirsten and Mitzi dinner at the Grizzly Fondue House in Banff TWICE because he was slacking.
Kjirsten beginning the Berg Lake trail at Mt. Robson.
First few kilometers pass through a dense, beautiful, aromatic forest. Small tree is growing from the large stump.
High glacially cold river water crossing.
Lush forest on the way to Kinney Lake from the parking lot.
Collecting rain water off the Whitehorn shelter roof to use for dinner.
Torrential rain while we sat under the shelter at Whitehorn.
Dinner tonight - burritos with refried beans, rice, grilled onions and peppers, cheese, avocado, tomato, salsa, sour cream. Delicious!
