Mount Robson Provincial Park

Last summer in early August we made a trip to Edmonton to see our daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren there and made a point of spending a day hiking in the area of Mount Robson, one of our favorite spots for hiking and backbacking. We hiked as far as the Whitehorn camp where we spend the first night if we are backpacking. Because it was August, the wildflowers were nearly finished, but we did see several native orchids, one we had not seen before. This photo was taken early in the morning as we started our hike. The mountain is not Mount Robson which is snow covered year around, but one of the other nearby peaks.
