Up into the Rockies.

Hooking up and leaving Holiday Park, Kelowna. |
Some last minute photos of Lake Okanagan before we head for Revelstoke.
On our way up into the Kootenay mountains we came across a place of historical significance at Craigellachie. The Last Spike was driven into the railroad at Eagle Pass. We wandered around and took some photos of the artefacts in the area of the old railroad.

From Revelstoke we carried on to Glacier National Park where we had gob smacking views of the Rockies and some glaciers.

Glacier National Park Visitor Centre. Little Amerilite is almost dwarfed by that snow bank! |
Inside the visitor centre they had a wonderful display of the local fauna. So well done!

Here is some scenery around the Visitor Center.
Sorry the photos are a bit jumbled up but 2 cameras with slightly different times on them arrange the photos in a higgledy piggledy manner.
What a stunning drive we had today.
Glad to see you enjoyed your trip home across western Canada.
