Earlier this year I made late spring trip into the Beaufort Range to visit Mt. Joan. On that trip we ended up making a winter ascent to the summit of Mt. Joan, where we were promptly socked in. Saturday, August 30th the Island Mountain Ramblers made an attempt to traverse the three peaks in this small range of mountains: Mt. Curran, Mt Squarehead and Mt. Joan. The forecast called for 2 mm of rain and light winds. Although the conditions looked a little miserable on our approach, it made for excellent hiking conditions.

Hello,
I am looking for images of the Beaufort Range as a range in total for a reference photo to paint from. Would you have such or know someone who would?
Thanks,
Anouk Hartwell
Hi Anouk. The range is quite long so I’ll wager it would need to be viewed from the ocean, plane or one of the mountains on the Mainland.
