My fourth batch of Cathedral Provincial Park photos September 14/19


This batch is our traverse of the apex of Red Mountain, in particular the boulder field.


Closer shot of the couple we met in the boulder field.

My hiking partner gingering traversing the boulder field.
Visible in the upper right is the Rim Trail we came down.

Looking at the hanging valley above Quiniscoe Lk.
If you look carefully in the middle there are two couples 
in the valley, one ascending and the other descending.

Looking back at the Rim Trail from Red Mt.
The white area below the trail is limestone, not snow.

Backside of the boulder field. Acres of ankle busters!

Quiniscoe Lk from Red Mt.

Some beautiful luminescent appearing lichens.
