Thanks for posting the photos of those amazing mountains and the Kitfox that takes you there! I guess you only go up there on calm days!? Beautiful.

cheers

How did the huts get there in the first place?

Material is brought up by helicopter and they are built in place. There is a famous one that was built in the 20's out of stone at 9,600' called Abbot Pass Hut.

WOW!

Swiftfox and Esser, thank you so much for posting those.

Ross, on one of your pictures along the river, there looks like what could have been some terracing for cultivation in years gone by?

Is that a wine or nut/fruit area?

Fly safe and have
fun.

Regards
Reid

DF The heaters work well but my plane leaks like a sieve! Gotta get that looked at... Was a beauty high pressure day with 10kts upper wind max. Think I'm going to head back to Golden BC again this weekend. Seems to be similar conditions!

SwiftFox, you live in a beautiful part of the world and the pictures you've posted are spectacular. My son lives in Whistler BC and on visits, I'm blown away with the truly magic scenery of Canada.

Super first camping trip of 2017.

Super first camping trip of 2017.

Thanks for the photos. Our flight of 6 in the early 2000s would stop at most of the places you picture as we flew our annual Idaho Back Country trip. Your photos bring back numerous great memories. Examples, the Hops growing alongside the strip at Echhart, the beautiful strip and view at Cavanaugh Bay and looking for the research submarines at Lake Pend Oreille. Truly a great part of the world
