BC Rockies from Kelowna to Banff


After a hearty breakfast prepared by Glen & Bette, we started up a route we hadn't traveled before, heading for Lake Louise. Around every bend was another eye-popping, jaw-dropping view of jagged, snow-covered peaks, aspen clothed in spring green, and gorgeous blue skies with puffy clouds. From Kelowna to Revelstoke, thence on to Golden for a gas stop, each mile was spectacular. We pulled off the highway alongside a rushing creek for lunch, with more stunning views from the little one-lane bridge. We arrived in Lake Louise around 7pm, and found one of the last remaining RV sites where we set up camp. The long days this far north last until at least 10pm, so we had plenty of daylight left for a nice walk, a good dinner, and time to relax.
