"Waking up to this view of Mount Robson shrouded in mist the morning after a strenuous hike made me feel like I'd accomplished something, even though there were many miles of trail to go.

As I sipped my coffee on the shore of the glacial Robson River adjacent to our campsite, I realized that these feelings of exhilaration and contentment are what I truly live for."
