Lee and Karen Duquette,
The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
drove through Robson
Valley, British Columbia August 24, 2009 |
Most of these photos were taken out a closed window of a moving RV, thus some of them have a bit of dark blue at the top from the window tinting. But the scenery is just so breathtaking, that Karen just had to include them, regardless of quality. | |
Mount Robson is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range; it is also the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. The mountain is located entirely within Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia, and is part of the Rainbow Range. Mount Robson is the second highest peak entirely in British Columbia, behind Mount Waddington in the Coast Range. The south face of Mount Robson is clearly visible from the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), and is one of the most photographed features along this route. Mount Robson was likely named after Colin Robertson, who worked for both the North West Company and the Hudson Bay Company at various times in the early 19th century. The Texqakallt, a Secwepemc people and the earliest inhabitants of the area, call it Yuh-hai-has-kun, The Mountain of the Spiral Road. Other unofficial names include Cloud Cap Mountain. |
