Clearwater

We're sitting in lawn chairs in our RV park in Clearwater at the foot of Wells Grey Provincial Park. We are staying here two nights and touring the park tomorrow. Expect to see some spectacular waterfalls and do some nice hikes.
We went on a short hike this morning in Mt Robson park starting at the Visitor Centre again. We had been told that very few people see Mt Robson's peak since it is usually in cloud. There it was in the clearest blue sky!
We headed up a trail that followed Robson River. The top of the mountain was in view for a while. Notice the odd snow formations on the ridge - like five snow tents. 
The Robson River is glacier-fed. The glacier grinds the rocks and the resulting silt is called rock flour. It colours the water and in this case is carried all the way to the Fraser delta.
