This is the view almost due north. It shows how narrow this part of the river valley is. It also shows the U shape that was cut by glaciers and subsequently by the river. There are mountains in the distance, but only a thin strip can be seen above a low snow-cloud formation filling that section of the valley. To give a notion of the distance, those clouds are roughly four miles from where I was standing when I took this image.
Nice view from the north side of the area.
I agree. It is even prettier in the spring and summer.
