Via Train, Canadian Prairies Passing through the idyllic praries with all of summer's lushness, wispy clouds and a blue sky. As a bonus, the moon was visible too.
Harvey Pass, Banff National Park After a lengthy forested section, including a series of seemingly neverending switchbacks, I arrived a clearing. Unfortunately, the trail passed through mud that was ankle deep in places (a boardwalk was built when I visited again in later years). It was a messy slough. Mt. Bourgeau is visible at least.
Guilin, China After Chongqing, a bus took us down to Guilin. First stop was a tea plantation which was scenicly placed amongst the karst mountains of Guilin.
