Spruce Creek Gully

In the Spruce Creek gulley between Lodge Ridge and Megahooped. The Megahooped Trees are on the right. Wonderland is visible on the far hillside. Bouncing Chuckles is also on the far hilside, but is mostly just hidden by the trees. Photo:Wendy Robinson

The road forks ahead. The road to Vertebra glacier turns to the right and up the hill. The road to Spruce Pass continues and disappears out of the picture to the left.
