 A CATCH OF GOAT ON TllK SLOPE OF TITKAXA PKAK BELOW SXOWCIPvD PASS 



feet = 2.042 meters) (see page 630), I 

 noted that the pass was on the hne of a 

 fault that had displaced and tilted up a 

 great block of limestones and shales. 

 Climbing a high point, Robson Peak was 

 seen far to the southwest, with several 

 high ridges between the pass and the 

 peak. As the work went on from Moose 

 Pass camp, mountains, ridges, lakes, 

 great snow fields, and glaciers were ex- 

 amined, and finally we camped in the 

 forest of Robson Pass, near the shore of 

 Berg Lake, at the foot of the crowning 

 glory of all — Robson Peak. 



The view of Robson and its glaciers 

 from above our camp is one of the finest 

 views of a mountain mass that I have 

 ever seen. Py a ha]^py combination of 

 fair weather and a kindly disposed Al- 

 Vista camera, the great photograph ac- 

 companying this paper was secured, and 

 through the enterprise of your Editor it 

 is given to all the readers of the Xa- 

 TioxAL Gex»graphic Magazixe (see Sup- 



plement of this number). When the 

 exposure was made, the camera stood on 

 the south slope of Mumm Peak, about 

 1,800 feet (548.6 meters) above Berg 

 Lake. The horses are near the edge of 

 a cliff overlooking the lake. » 



Robson Peak rises majestically cliff on 

 cliff' for 7,000 feet (2,136 meters) above 

 Berg Lake to its summit, where the va- 

 pors from the Pacific gather nearly every 

 day of the year. At times the peak 

 stands out clear, sharp, and glistening 

 against the pure blue sky. but usually the 

 mist gathers and trails about it in wisps, 

 streamers, or solid clouds that often 

 clothe the mountain in a mantle of white 

 to its base. 



Again, about Robson and on the sum- 

 mit of its northern spur — Iyatunga( black 

 rock) (see Panorama) — the mists will 

 gather as though impelled by a cyclone 

 funneled from the mountain top, sug- 

 gesting a great volcano belching forth 

 smoke and steam far and near.
