Rocky Mountains

Tonquin Hill

We've just decended from Clitheroe campground onto the marshy shores of the Amethyst Lakes. Tonquin Hill is in the background. The optimistic plan was to day hike to the top of Tonquin Hill from Maccarib but the snow changed those plans. The view from Tonquin Hill is supposed to be very impressive and reveals the entire Tonquin Valley.

I think that the snow covered mountain on the right is Mount Clitheroe. This is the first bit of blue skey we've seen all day - but within the hour most of these clouds will clear!
