| Glacier National Park, BC, Canada |
Over 400 glaciers cover one tenth of the area in this park. From the valley, a little streak of glacier may link to a large
icefield that is enormous beyond. The transcontinental hwy 1 passes through the Roger's Pass, Which is named after
the chief engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Roger drove his pathfinders hard in determining among 10 possible
passes for the railroad to be build. Roger's pass was selected and the rail was built with as much difficulty as with
ingenuity. A short trail to the ruin of old rail station. An avalanche made the railroad took a more southern route.
Glacier National Park is the birth place of sport climbing in North America.
Glacier NP offers lots of hiking trials long and short with different difficult levels. Avalanches, deep ravines and ice
mountains. One can really spend lots of time here.
At Roger's pass, the 360 degree scenery is exhilarating. The discovery Center offers a great deal of information.

The fruit of Fireweed is a seed pod, a
capsule, i.e.a fruit splits open when
mature. It's seed has silk and can be
carried away by wind, much like
dandelions.
