The peak in the centre is Des Poilus, and to the right you can just see Collie - but not the very top of Collie. I recognise them both from climbing them. I always assumed everyone (including PC) just copied off the topo and as we all know those topo maps have peaks in the wrong places, glaciers where they don't exist and no glaciers where they do exist etc.
Anyway very nice TR - it sure looks dry in those ranges.

Funny story though, this NRCMap labels the Iceline Trail as the Skyline Trail...a person can't win for trying.....
Thanks for the help.

Must just be an old map. The original trail there was called the Skyline Trail. It ran along the tree line though, just below where the current Iceline Trail is.
And the thing about naming and mapping glaciers, is that they are changing so quickly. The Emerald Glacier there, for example, would have been more like one big cap, but now you could name it as a whole bunch of smaller sections.
