Northern Cascades from Mt. Cheam

Previous photograph Back to the gallery page Next photograph

We visited the top of Mt. Cheam in the early fall, the temperture was unusually hot but the air was exceptionally clear. From the top we were able to see over a hundred kilometres in all directions. These mountains were considerably closer, probably about 25km, but they were taken with a long telephoto lens (about 12 times magnification). These are just a few of the tall peaks of the Cascade Mountains along the Canada-U.S. border.

The camera recorded the following information in the original image file:
