When backpacking in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park a few weeks ago, we camped at Lake Magog and while camped there day-hiked to the Niblet, a viewpoint on a low peak or ridge in the area. This was the view from the Niblet. Mount Magog is on the left with Mount Assiniboine to its right and Sunburst Peak dominating the scene. The lakes are from left to right, Magog, Sunburst and Cerulean. For those who do not comprehend why anyone would carry forty pounds (20 kg) on their back for thirty miles (50 km), this is the reason.

On another note, we are in Europe, in Belfast, visiting our daughter and friends and attending a conference. We will be here the next three weeks and my posts, such as I am able to put up, will be earlier than usual. We arrived here in Belfast yesterday after a long and rather frustrating trip. We had to be rerouted and arrived eight or nine hours later than scheduled. It is good to be landed, however, and to have had a decent night's sleep, something impossible in an airplane seat.
