Columbia Mountains Institute


We just returned from a 2-day statistics course at the Institute in Revelstoke. In the evenings we hiked around. Here we're at the top of Revelstoke Mountain National Park, where Miranda is botanizing. The views of the Rockies were spectacular. But the fresh bear poo on the trails made me just a bit nervous.

Alpine hiking


Sun Peaks. Why hike up a mountain, when you can use a quad chair lift?


Going up



Nemy uses Bryoria (a hair-lichen) to make herself look elegant.


Snow up on top.


Nice up there. Lots of bears too. Apparently we were the only ones not to see them. I'm betting that they were seeing us though.



and down we go.
