The second day had in plan the radial trail to Snowbird Pass. Waking up under the tender rustle of rain we realized that our prayers to the weather gods failed. However the guidebook says that Mt Robson makes its own weather. Authors forget to specify that it makes its own BAD weather. So, maybe we asked the wrong gods or maybe in this place, prayers about weather are not accepted. While we breakfasted with porridge and a weird beverage pretending to be coffee, rain become a little bit weaker, so we started our trip to the pass.
\nAt the beginning, our way was to the Robson Glacier, which lay on the weather-making mountain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At this point a little sun appeared, and we fell on the rocks for some rest and a snack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAnd, immediately, a golden squirrel came to us, jumped around a little and dug through one of the backpacks with the intention to knock back our lunch. The place is definitely well known for its local wildlife, as many hikers stop here for rest and the squirrels\u2019 diet obviously consists of nuts that have never grown in Canada (and other strange staff). The animal was quite filled and not at all modest.<\/p>\n
