Canadian Rockies: Number 1 and 4 are scanned slides, you might see some grain. Number 4 was taken 42 years ago in Garibaldi park British Colombia with an old 1932 Leica on Ektachrome.

I have great memories of the days of my solo hiking in the mountains. My grandson says what an ugly tent, well in those days there were no pop-up tents like today. At that time there was not one hotel at Whistler, amazing how this place grew to a world class resort..

Absolutely stunning images --- I had a similar tent from REI when I used to do a lot of back packing, fishing, and car camping.

Great job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank you for the comment. Years ago there was a store at the end of Van Ness near Mission, a sort of surplus store that is where I bought mine

What great shots. As for the tent, I remember when that WAS a pop-up tent because you could "pop it up" almost anywhere.

Great shots! Wish I could make it up there. About your grandson. Wait til his grandson makes remarks about HIS camping gear. I can't imagine what kind of gadgets will be available to his generation!!! I grew up with a canvas wall tent (which I still have for some stupid reason) and I had to pack that thing in!! No wonder I didn't camp too often, until the rip-stop material became affordable; but it still wasn't a pop-up tent.

It's mind boggling how things changed in my life time, especially now in the electronic age, one can't keep up.
