Was there last week on another great Muench Workshops trip. Traveling with Marc and Andy is like shooting fish in a barrel :wink

    We stayed at the Assiniboine Lodge: http://www.assiniboinelodge.com - the only way in there is via helicopter, or via an 18 mile hike. We took the easy way in :-)

    From there it's a short hike - maybe 1.5 miles, 800 vertical feet - to this hilltop called "the niblet," and that's where the shot is from. From the picture on the lodge's page, it looks like they're fond of the same location :D

    Highly recommended spot. It's gorgeous in every way. I'm of course partial to mid-September because that's when all the larch trees turn and lose their needles (yes, there is such a thing as a deciduous conifer!)

    Damn...my chopper is in the mechanic shop! :D
    Can't say enough how great this shot is!
    Cheers!
