Were are you that you have mountain peaks like that at 6500 feet?
Just north of Whistler British Columbia Canada which was one of the sites of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The area we were in rises rapidly to the east of the below photo (which is facing north) and is best known for the striking ice fields seen here at the northern end of the valley.
The ice field peak is at around 8500' elevation and are about 19 miles from where this photo was taken in October 2009. Best time to see the ice fields is early spring before snow melt.
