During our stay at Sunshine Village I rode the Standish Chair lift to an elevation of 8000 feet on the Continental divide between Alberta and British Columbia. From there I took a delightful loop hike through a golden, larch filled basin passing three lovely lakes. Snow had fallen the night before and was falling again as I returned to the lift. The basin was on the west side of the divide in the headwaters of the Simpson River which flows into the Kootenai and ultimately the Columbia River.
