Autumn has arrived here in Northern BC. This shot is of one of the pinnacles or hoodoos in Pinnacles Provincial Park. The pinnacles which were once part of an ancient lava flow have been formed since the end of the last ice age when soft basalt layers eroded away to leave a more resistant ash layers behind.

We stayed a night at the Wates-Gibson Hut on Outpost Lake while hiking the Tonquin Valley. Given the torrential rain we had all night it was nice to be able to walk out in the morning without packing up our tents in the mud. The clouds parted a little at sunrise; just enough to let a few rays of sun through and give us some hope that it would not rain continuously for the remaining three days of the hike. This shot was taken of Blackhorn Peak (3000m or 9843ft ).
