Simpson Viewpoint

IMG_20240918_150951_Original.jpeg

About halfway between Grizzly lake and Laryx Lake is this incredible lookout named: Simpson Viewpoint. The first time we hiked up here, the viewpoint was quite unexpected. The drop into the canyon is at least several hundred feet or so. Wow! Very windy as well. They say on a clear day you can see as far as the “continental divide”. What is the continental divide you ask? It is a natural boundary that separates the “drainage basins” of North America. Google it for more detailed info about it (or better yet use the Brave AI tool). Thanks for stopping by.
