The earthy tones of Shakes Lake differ significantly to the white world we experienced during the winter. The icebergs floating in the water near the beginning of the Castle Creek valley marks one of our winter campgrounds. The turrets of Castle Mountain rise in the background.
Castle Mountain and Shakes Glacier. This was the first time I had seen the bottom of the glacier without a thick covering of snow. It was interesting to see the many bands of gravel.
Castle Mountain and what I had previously thought may be a route to the mountain. It was a route but certainly not an easy one (lots of rock climbing to ascend the face of Castle.)
