Summer Riding

During the last few weekends since we picked up the bike, we've been getting out to the Cranbrook, BC area and one weekend in Eureka.  I forgot to take pictures in Eureka, but got a few shots from the back of the bike while riding through the Columbia Valley.  It's beautiful and scenic through there. Mom - we drove this valley when you were out here a few years ago.  You'll probably recognize the rest area of the first two pictures. Here's some pics:

Columbia Lake:  Source of Columbia River which empties into Pacific Ocean at Astoria, Oregon.

This picture was taken just as we were leaving Radium.

Redwall Fault

When great blocks of the earth's crust slipped past one another, solid limestone was ground into jagged fragments called Breccia, which in turn have been stained by iron oxide.

After long centuries of freezing and thawing, erosion by scouring streams and rolling rock, these great cliffs remain to trace the Redwall Fault.

Hopefully there will be more pictures from the back of the bike as we wind down the summer.
