In afternoon, new weather system moved in and again the sky was dominated by clouds.

A short hike from the camp, we arrived Canada's national cross country team camp site at Haig Glacier.

When we visited the camp, the team was there. We talked to the team coach. These people run whole the way we hiked yesterday and today AND they go up higher to the glacier, carrying skis in the same day… It's pretty much half marathon dude, expect it's mountain trail with uphill. The guy in the picture is just a maintenance guy.

Quite a view of Mount Black Prince. See it's long.

On the way back, it started snow, but we were having fun. John found this little cave-like place, so we checked it up. A long time ago this place was still covered by glacier. You can tell that by looking at the rock surface.

Kevin exploring first. The other end of this little cave.

I followed Kevin, and as soon as get out the other end, this was what was waiting for me. Sudden drop. By scaling with Google Earth, I think it's about 200m (655ft). It's as high as skyscrapers. This used to be a melted glacier water's escape way probably.

John, John at far. Weather was defiantly moving toward us.
