Best Places to See in BC - Mt. Robson


The highest point in the
Canadian Rockies is Mt. Robson.
Standing at 3,954 m (12,972 ft) high,
Mt. Robson is located in Mt. Robson Provincial Park.

The summit of Mt. Robson is usually
obscured by clouds, and indeed
after 3 separate trips to
get a glimpse of this rare sight,
I did get lucky early one
morning.

I've never met a mountain I didn't like,
and the view of Mt. Robson from
the Yellowhead Highway is pretty spectacular.
She's just ..... big.
I can only imagine what other secrets
her various faces hold,
as she is considered
one of the truly great
mountains to climb.

I'm happy taking in the views from
below.

The Rocky Mountains



Experiencing the Rocky Mountains
for yourself can be
a life altering experience.
By experiencing, I mean not only seeing them,
but living in and with them.
Seeing them firsthand, again, for me,
was nearly overwhelming.

I gave up saying "oooh my gosh" and "wow" and just left my mouth
hang open in awe. Saved a lot on
the jaw muscles.

The Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Filled with hot springs, snow storms,
and some of the bluest skies I have ever seen.
My adventures here allowed me to touch a
part of her spirit and respect
her moods.
For this, I am forever changed.
