Description

At 6,300ft Sapphire Pk is one of the crown jewels of Thompson Pass that towers above the HWY. To gain access to Sapphire PK requires a bit of alpine trickery. The 27 Mile Glacier basin is guarded by the the ever threatening and dissecting ice fall seen from the road and a cirque rim that is riddled with gendarmes and cornices.
