Looking down from high up on Lineham Ridge, the massive walls of the Great Divide are dwarfed by distance. Beyond the Great Divide, high mountains in British Columbia stretch on forever.

Snowy peaks of Akamina Ridge are seen through the forest of the regenerating 2017 Kenow Fire burn area. Looking closely one can see Akamina Creek nearby in the valley below.

Nearby Mt. Festubert at 8,267 ft., is a high point of the Great Divide, with a sea of peaks in British Columbia beyond it. Seen from the Lineham Ridge high point.
From Lineham Ridge, the trail on the south side of the ridge is etched in the shale at the foot of the Great Divide's rock wall, and at the edge of the green sub-alpine meadows below.
Lower down, the trail leaves the shale at the base of the Great Divide walls, and heads into the gorgeous sub-alpine meadows.
Looking up at massive walls capped by the Great Divide with the trail running up close at the foot of them.
Akamina Creek runs through the valley below. If it wasn't for the dense vegetation being burned by the 2017 Kenow Fire, the creek would only be heard, not seen.
