Thunder Mountain

It dawned a pretty decent day in the Bella Coola Valley today.  Some blue sky and high clouds allowed us some nice views of the mountain tops with all their fresh snow.  I was able to catch a shot of Thunder Mountain in the distance, when there was brief clearing.  It has a lot of fresh snow.


Unfortunately about 4 PM the skies opened up and a cold steady rain started which at 3 C on the valley bottom surely must mean more snow falling mid way up the mountains. They are not forecasting a cold trend, but more of the same kind of weather as today.  Grizzly

  2. It is called Thunder Mountain, because on the Northeast side there is a glacier which moves in the summer and as it moves it makes "Thunder" sounds. Grizzly
