No photographs, alas. For the most part the wildlife was too fleeting or far away or my camera was buried in my pack or something. Well, I did get a few shots of the mountain goat on my not-long-enough lens, so perhaps with some Photoshopping&#8230; But so what? If anyone wants to see what these animals look like (and almost everybody knows anyway) they can do a five-second Google search. I assume they can find photographs better than mine of the Columbia Icefield &#8211; where we went glacier walking yesterday &#8211; easily as well.]]>Wed, 23 Aug 2006 12:05:17 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L.
