44. Thompson Canyon

THOMPSON CANYON

(In Skihist Campground on Highway 1, 5 miles east of Lytton)

Water, cutting deeply into the pre-glacial floor of this valley over countless centuries, has gradually eroded the almost vertical dykes of the mountain of solid rock.  The awesome display of crags and cliffs is vivid evidence of the might of the river and the ceaseless power of water at work.  In place like this, man sees his true size.
