Now for the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies to finish this series: Mt. Robson.
Mount Robson (12,972 feet, 3,954 m) is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range. With 9,760 ft (2,975 m) elevation gain from the valley floor below it is a difficult challenge for those brave enough to climb it.
Mount Robson is the source of the longest river in British Columbia, the Fraser River. One of the great rivers on the continent.
Much to love in the Canadian Rockies! 😍
Thanks for following along on this mountain series.
Mata de Albergaria, no Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês (PNPG), durante o outono. Este bosque centenário, que alberga carvalhos galaico-portugueses, é parte da única área protegida em Portugal com estatuto de Parque Nacional e integra a Reserva Biogenética das Matas de Palheiros e Albergaria, reconhecida pelo Conselho da Europa e classificada como Reserva da Biosfera pela UNESCO desde 2009. O leito do riacho está coberto por folhas caídas em tons alaranjados e acobreados, enquanto o musgo verde adorna algumas pedras e margens. A luz filtrada pelas copas das árvores em transição sazonal cria um mosaico de cores que realça a beleza natural desta floresta protegida, um ecossistema vital na região do Minho. Além disso, a área é atravessada pela Geira Romana, onde se conservam vestígios de calçada romana e marcos milenares. No outono, a queda das folhas não só embeleza a paisagem, mas também contribui para a fertilização natural do solo e para a renovação dos ciclos ecológicos deste bosque caducifólio.
Albergaria Forest, in the Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG), during the autumn. This centenary forest, which houses Galician-Portuguese oaks, is part of the only protected area in Portugal with the status of National Park and is part of the Biogenetic Reserve of the Palheiros and Albergaria Forests, recognized by the Council of Europe and classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO since 2009. The stream bed is covered with fallen leaves in orange and copper tones, while green moss adorns some stones and banks. The light filtered by the treetops in seasonal transition creates a mosaic of colors that enhances the natural beauty of this protected forest, a vital ecosystem in the Minho region. In addition, the area is crossed by the Roman Geira, where remains of Roman roads and ancient landmarks are preserved. In the fall, the falling of the leaves not only beautifies the landscape, but also contributes to the natural fertilization of the soil and to the renewal of the ecological cycles of this deciduous forest.
Trecho do trilho PR1 VRM – Costa dos Castanheiros, localizado na Serra da Cabreira, Vieira do Minho, durante o outono. Este percurso circular, com cerca de 6,25 km, inicia e termina na Casa de Guarda de Agra e atravessa uma das zonas ecologicamente mais valiosas da serra, onde se observa um equilíbrio entre espécies folhosas e resinosas, destacando-se a presença de castanheiros. O caminho, coberto por folhas caídas em tons alaranjados e acastanhados, serpenteia entre uma floresta mista, proporcionando contacto direto com habitats de várias espécies. A riqueza de linhas de água permanentes, como o Ribeiro Escuro e o Ribeiro da Lage, valoriza ainda mais este percurso, ideal para a observação da biodiversidade e interpretação ambiental.
