Decided to take another crack at Bessie this past weekend. We dropped our overnight gear off at the Kunk Lake shelter where we would eventually spend the night. After that we rowed across Kunk Lake and started up the muskeg toward the ridge that would take us to the mountain. I was accompanied by a couple friends. Jeremy reaches a helping hand to his wife Kate as she stretches for the opposite bank.
No trip up Bessie would be complete without a dog. This friendly guy is Rudy and he had a unique way of cooling down. He would wade into muskeg ponds and then crouch down to get his back completely submerged. Right now he's shaking off the excess water.
If you don't remember or haven't seen the pictures of my first trip up Bessie, go to our April 2007 archive (the link is on the right hand side of the screen) and scroll a little more than half way down until you see "The Quest for Bessie." When you get there you will see an evening shot of this cornice when the sun was making it blaze. I thought it was neat to see it again in late July. Too bad we didn't have the same weather this time around!
What a rainbow! I love the way this rainbow captures the sunlight "under" the bow while the rest of the mountains behind it are still in the shadow of the clounds. There were pieces of a double rainbow as well but they weren't visible in this shot.
Skittles?
