Those were nice shots. I've got to take a road trip up that way soon if
I can convince my wife.
As far as ubiquitous mountain photos go, that honor would probably go to
unhearlded Mt Shuksan, a little SE of Vancouver BC just across the
border. It shows up on calendars, on train station walls, in advertizing
and in movies whenever a generic mountain is needed. It's played the
part of the Canadian Rockies in car and beer commercials and the Alps in
movies. And it never gets any credit. Like the studio musician of
mountains :>) It is very photogenic. I'll see if I can dig up a shot.
And I'll bet that every other member of the list in this area has some
too.
