14684 The View From Camp - 1982
Here's another prime location, Kluane (pronounced Kloo-WAH-nee) National Park, in Canada's Yukon. It's a true northern wilderness, and I did multiple backpacking trips there in the 1980s.
On this multi-day hike with my then-girlfriend, we went up Fortyeight Pup Creek, on the lower slopes of Sheep Mountain, and camped on the open tundra. The day was sunny and warm. Next morning, we woke to rain and fog, which persisted all day. Then, the next day... this! The clouds began to break up, patches of sunshine lit them here and there, vistas of endless mountains started to appear. It was like a curtain being lifted. I was spellbound, but luckily remembered to grab my camera and shoot.
