| Peakfinder Updates
For those Peakfinder visitors who have never visited the south end of Maligne Lake, we now have numerous photos of the fine peaks visible from there. Thanks to Gillean and Tony Daffern and Randy McAllister for these. Others have contributed photos recently as well and the collection continues to grow. Check out the monthly panorama on the site. Previously they were photos from "50 Roadside Panoramas in the Canadian Rockies. Now we're using new colour photos from different locations. As all the photos available on Peakfinder, sometimes errors are made in their captions. Several Peakfinder users have located errors and advised us so that they can be corrected. Please let us know if you find an error. If you have a favourite mountain photo or any information about the peaks of the Canadian Rockies that you would like included in Peakfinder please contact <dave@peakfinder.com>. Please note that all of the previous newsletters have been archived and are available on the site. If you're interested in esoteric lists, unusual mountain names, etcetera, browse through the earlier issues. |
