Great pictures. Thanks for sharing the secret of the incredible beauty of the B.C. Rockies. The the oft used tourist promotion name of “Super Natural” certainly applies accurately to this area.

And, technically, you might want to add to your exploration list the old dirt mining access road that goes way up past the head of Salmon Glacier, outside of Stuart B.C. over on the coast. The Salmon is the fifth largest glacier in all of Canada. The coastal mountains there (The Cassiars?) may not be quite as high as the Rockies but from sea level base to top, you’ve got a contender.

Agreed, beautiful! Been up there twice but the elevation is still quite low. I’ll be back there several more times I’m sure.
