Forbes looked very grand across an intervening dip in the hills ; and to the left of it the pass leading over into the Bush valley, which we have since named Bush Pass, was plainly visible. Next morning the horses got lost in the woods, but were tracked and recovered by 271 CLIMBS AND EXPLORATION Robson and Collie; and in the afternoon thelatter made a series of measurements of MountForbes by means of a base line, a Stewardssurveying telemeter, and a clinometer. As themean of two observations he made out its alti-tude to be about 12,250 feet, or more than athousand feet less than Dr. Hector and othershad supposed it to be. This height was a disap-pointment to us all, even though we had madeup our minds that it would have to be consider-ably lowered ; but, as has already been pointedout, such degradation is the common lot of thehigher summits in the Canadian Rockies. 272</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>CHAPTER XV MOUNT FORBES AND HOWSE PEAK As soon as the trail was cut the horses werepacked and the two outfits moved up the canyonto make a base camp for the ascent of MountForbes. The Forbes canyon is infinitely finerthan the valley descending from the Freshfieldglacier; indeed, for a combination of peak,glacier, gorge, and forest scenery, there isnothing to surpass it in the Canadian Rockies.If the trees are not quite so tall and stately asthose of British Columbia, they are still verygrand, and their grouping in places is mostbeautiful. The dampness of the climate—^forForbes, owing to its height and solitary pre-eminence, is, like Pyramid and Howse Peak, agreat compeller of clouds—causes the floor ofthe forest to be covered with a bright carpet ofgreenest moss ; and the luxuriance of the under-growth, the ruin and tangle of fallen trees, wereworthy almost of the Bush or Columbia valleys.High above us great peaks towered; and from the glaciers overhanging their lower cliffs fell</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
