These are photos from a couple of days spent exploring the Canadian Cascade mountains, primarily in Skagit Valley and E. C. Manning Provincial Parks, east of Hope, British Columbia. We spent a day hiking along the Skagit River south from the trail head on highway 3 in Manning Park. The Skagit was quite high and full of rapids, the water a beautiful aquamarine blue from the glacial till coming in with the many creeks running off the surrounding mountains. During our explorations, we saw a lot of animals including a moose trotting down the road, a couple black bears roaming through a mountainside forest, a herd of bighorn sheep, some mule deer, ospreys, many ravens, and some Clark's nutcrackers, which Nici made friends with (see pic below).
