Glacier Crest Trail
The Glacier Crest trail in Glacier National Park (goldenhikes.ca/trail/glacier-crest/) is one of the many hikes that I made during my holidays, and it is a climb of 950 meters in altitude. After the Tachäl Dhäl trail in Kluane National Park that was exhausting, this one was a fairly easy walk, that brought me to the top of the ridge with a stunning 360o view. The view here is to the north east on the Illecillewaet glacier, but the view to the west and south west is equally stunning ( may post this one later).
Another problem here is the amount of nice pictures that I took here. Ultrawide angle pictures with menacing clouds, rock formations and/or snow and ice in front, deep valley views, forest and trees, it is all there to document the beauty of the view.
The picture here was shot with my LUMIX that makes excellent panoramas, and that i discovered to be not that bad only recently. i am still deciding which of the other pictures to show later, so therefor I start with this one.
From 11 June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
