There was frost on the windshield this morning, 30 degrees and perfectly clear. We knew we had about a 270 mile drive and anticipated it was going to be ho-hum. That shows how much we know.

We took Rte. 1 West which goes through Yoho National Park. Yoho is an Indian word for “Awe”. The park was aptly named.

The park is located in the Columbia Mountain Range just west of the Rockies. The range is older and is made up of harder rock. It’s peaks tend to be sharper because the don’t erode as easily. Some of the road cuts were unbelievable.

Travels through the valley we came upon thick fog. The result of a temperature inversion.

Driving further west and in the vicinity of Revelstoke we came upon a lake with magnificent light. These are some of the pictures Louise took.

Driving west and then turning south we transitioned from mountains to valley. The Okanagan Valley is broad and full of lakes and other water bodies. This is a view from our B&B. We are off tomorrow to explore the local vineyards.
