Tetons on Crack | Banff National Park, Canada | 07/28/08, by powderjunky
Overwhelmed. Rock clothed in fractured glaciers reach toward
the sun beckoning adventure to all who lay their eyes on them. In an instant my
highly regarded Tetons are reduced to an insignificant spec on the mountaineering
map. I stand in a place where no camera, no poet, no one, can describe the
color of these glacial waters, the towering peaks and the over all magnitude
with any justice that is due to them.
This region mocks all my experience and draws me closer like
a siren. We planned on spending one week or two here....I now realize it would
take one or two lifetimes to fully understand these surroundings. Until then I humbly
soak in all I can as I stand in mist of the Canadian Rockies.
That's Our Opinion. What's Yours?
