Onwards on Iceline

Sulphur Skyline Panorama

Sulphur Skyline, Jasper National Park The view in one direction around on the Sulphur Skyline summit. Hot as it was, I spent some time just taking in the view since it was the first summit of the trip.

In the Bowl

Harvey Pass, Banff National Park It was nice and calm within this bowl. At the same time, I didn't really know how much further I had to go, although I guessed that I can't be that far away given how much elevation I've gained.

Sentry Building on the Wall

Xi'an, China This is the first sentry building south of the Changle Gate. It sits on a rampart that extends outwards from the main wall and could be used to defend from anyone trying to climb up.

Getting Lost on Iceline

Iceline, Yoho National Park After descending from the higher elevations of the Iceline Trail, I made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up going in the opposite direction than I should've. I think this is where I wasn't supposed to go. Eventually this didn't seem to be going where I thought it should be; the trail should've been following the Little Yoho River to the Yoho Valley, but clearly this didn't look like it went that way. I consulted my topographic map in an attempt to orient myself. I decided to retrace my steps.

Baldness

Bald Hills, Jasper National Park Bald Hills - I can see where the name for this hike came from. The tops look quite devoid of anything but dirt and rock.
