'Little' TX Peak

Another gorgeous day to go hiking so we made our second attempt at Texas Peak, up from Jackson Basin near Retallack. This is me on the summit of what I named 'Little TX Peak' because I didn't feel too comfortable with parts of the approach to the actual TX Peak. Dave got there in about 20 minutes from where I am standing. In the background you can see bits of Kokanee Glacier. Lots of snow on our approach but where it had melted there were abundant glacier lilies, buttercup and anenome. The approach to the hike was a bit longer than expected - too many avalanches last winter closed the road at km 7 rather than getting to about km 9. Saw some pretty recent griz tracks in the snow as we hiked to the ridge.
