Here is a high res interactive panorama of the mountain view from Calgary(not mine but I like it).

It is on a slow server so the annotations -mountain labels take a while to load so be patient as you zoom in as it gives you more detail if you wait. A toggle in the lower right gives full screen.
Thirty minutes to one hour gets me to the base of most of these. Enjoy.

Gloat on Chief! You can have your sub-freezing snow shovelin' winter wonderland 6 outa the year. I'll take the mellow Coast Range scene and bust my ass 6 hrs 3-4 days a week to get up there at my leisure as much as I want when I don't hafta keep my waterbottle in my sleeping bag.The Chief wrote:Neophiteat48 wrote:A little bragadocious is it not?

That night time view!jdzaharia wrote:Neat topic.
Here's some taken from my yard.
Sunset after harvest:
An approaching storm over the nearest neighbor's house:
A typical winter view of the road:
When snow geese migrate during a flood:
A view to the southwest:
A typical winter-time scene:
And finally, the classic cliche--the view at night:

Being THAT close to those big boys certainly makes up for the minimal view.Bill Reed wrote:It ain't much, but it's all I've got left........

I guess that would depend on your definition of "recover". Plants and wildlife will return within a couple of years. It might not be the "same" for 100 years but so what? Things will always change. (BTW, I live a couple of miles from the site of the Hayman fire so I know how much things are changed by big fires, but changed does not mean destroyed. Only the man-made stuff is destroyed, not the land.)
BTW, the anger shouldn't be directed at the person with the campfire. Fires like that one, the Hayman fire, the Yellowstone fire, etc. are a result of people thinking that they can control nature.
