The Cascade Mountains rise in bold, sweeping ridges across the Pacific Northwest of British Colombia, a dramatic blend of volcanic and glacial sculpting. Jagged granite outcroppings pierce through dense forests, their silvery-gray faces streaked with mineral veins and centuries of weathering. In the shifting light, these granite cliffs shimmer with hues of slate blue, charcoal, and pale ash. Towering evergreens blanket the lower slopes, but as the elevation climbs, the trees give way to stark alpine terrain where bare stone dominates the horizon.
