[Magdalen] Mount Assiniboine

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

Investigating a tree I know little about, the Subalpine Larch (Larix  
lyallii)
I stumbled upon a picture of the Canadian Rocky mountain peak,
Mount Assiniboine,  at the edge of Alberta and British Columbia 
in Western Canada (11,870').
 
The peak is so strikingly like the Matterhorn (Switzerland - 14,692')
that I thought the picture was mislabeled.  I'd love to see it,  but
I suspect not for me in this lifetime.  It is yet another amazing  
phenomenon
of the Canadian Rockies.
 
I still remember the chapter about the Matterhorn in "Stoddard's  Lectures"
which books, along with Richard Halliburton's "Book of Marvels" first  got
me interested in travel.
