Mount Assiniboine: Vern Dewit Photography

Getting ready for the 27km hike.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:42:01 GMT

The Bryant Creek trail is a road for 14km.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:43:20 GMT

There are a few nice distractions along the road.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:44:36 GMT

Rod and Hanneke wait for the Jon to fall in the water...

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:45:50 GMT

...OK, he didn't fall in this time!

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:46:54 GMT

Rod is scared of Grizzlies. What a wus.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:47:55 GMT

Beautiful mountain colors.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:49:20 GMT

A break along the trail at about the half way mark.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:50:45 GMT

Lots of interesting mushrooms along the way.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:52:26 GMT

Bryant Creek meadows about half way in.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:53:34 GMT

The meadows are almost swampy. Cave Mountain is in the background.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:54:34 GMT

These are outliers of Mount Cautley and the two Towers to the left of the photo.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:55:21 GMT

Another break along the trail before the elevation gain starts.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:56:44 GMT

Blue 'beary' jam anyone? Grizzly scat.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:58:23 GMT

The group trudges up the horse trail to Assiniboine Pass.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:00:31 GMT

As we get higher, the scenery improves dramatically.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:02:05 GMT

This is where the hiking trail is closed at the top of Assiniboine Pass due to Grizzly activities.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:03:25 GMT

Re-bandaging George's poor feet!

Sunshine Meadows at last. 3km to go.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:09:13 GMT

Snowing - is this a good sign of the weather ahead?

A little too luxurious maybe?

Like a painting!

The summit looks scary and snowy from this angle on the way up.

vern.dewit@gmail.com (Vern Dewit Photography) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:07:38 GMT

Vern Dewit

Too bad Assiniboine is hidden in the clouds. Aye and Lunette are beside it.
