Icefall Brook and Cummins

In celebration of 1000 site hits (even though 200 are probably from me alone), I decided to take the easy way out and find some cool pics off the net. I've been searching for pics of these two places for a really long time. Click on each one for a close-up.

At the top of the switchbacks (left of center) is where me and Michelle ended our 4hr trek in the dark. We drove out of Golden at midnight. Icefall Brook is the name of the area I believe, although I refer to it as the Vallenciennes.

The previous pic was taken from this glacier. This is what we woke up to in the morning, minus the close-up, but adding the first traces of snow of the season



This it the first waterfall of the Cummins Valley, which would be the final destination of the proposed trek next summer.

Looking down the valley towards Kinbasket Lake from the same position as the pic above

An aerial shot of what we'd be hiking through. I didn't know there were meadows. Looks a lot easier, although I guess you'd have to commit to one side of the river or the other

On on the bridges between Kinbasket Lake and Golden. It's a pretty good drop from there.
