A flight with the Sky Pilot...


The Sky Pilot is one of my favourite Squamish landmarks. Every morning on my commute it calls out to me as I pass under it. There isn't a better spot to get 360 views of Howe Sound and the community of Squamish.

       



After a short bike ride and hike above tree line we set up a high camp.






The views from the top were amazing as usual....


These guys set up camp on the true summit of Sky Pilot.  




From this vantage our camp looked inviting....


Cool views of the Judge and Meslillooet.


A unique angle of Tantalus and Alpha.


And Mountain Lake and hut.




On the way back to camp the clouds started to roll in and the light fired up....


Life is good.....









After a few showers and some stormy moments we were greeted by a starry sky.


It the morning winter arrived....
