Mt. Bourgeau - Update
Daisy sent the pictures she took yesterday on Mt. Bourgeau.
This is me crossing Wolverine Creek:
At the top - Daisy:
Mt. Assiniboine is somewhere in the cloud behind her. And by the way, we got to experience those clouds as we descended, as they brought that nasty little snow squall.
One of me at the top:
And Daisy on the way down.
Behind her is the edge of the ridge overlooking Bourgeau Lake, around 300 m below. You can see some of the smaller cornices behind her, and the path we were following is just over her left shoulder. She's probably about ten metres from the edge of the ridge.
Another shot in the same direction, which shows the magnificent line of peaks that seems to stretch from Assiniboine toward Lake Louise.
You get an idea of how much snow is still up in the higher elevations.
A little more research reveals that the third of the lakes at the top, the frozen over one we encountered on the way down is Harvey Lake. The other two lower ones are apparently unnamed.
