When at intervals it liftedwe had glorious peeps of Mount Forbes and theblue expanse of Glacier Lake lying in a deepvalley almost immediately below us. Thewaters of the lake, which descend from theenormous Lyell Glacier, discharge themselvesby a short stream into the Middle Fork. South-wards we could dimly see the bold rock andsnow peaks which cluster round the head ofBear Creek valley, while right above our latecamping ground was the imposing Murchisongroup, culminating in several peaks, one a largeserrated ridge, another a gigantic square-toppedobelisk of most formidable aspect, and quitesheer on three sides.

Had we had less resolute andhard-working men than Peyto and his staff, ourtrip must inevitably have resulted in failure.As it was, we more than once feared we shouldbe forced to turn back.
