Assorted waterfalls #2: Athabasca falls, right off the road, swollen with the rains. This is also late in the day so the crowds have dispersed.
Assorted waterfalls #3: Takakkaw falls - I'll spare you this one. It's a 900 ft waterfall we saw in the pouring rain.
Grizzly bear by the side of the road. They have to consume 300,000 bearberries to prepare for hibernation. The snows start in late Sept.
Mt Revelstoke Nat'l Park in British Columbia - Heather Lake + alpine meadows. This park is really small and the "alpine meadows" look color coordinated and produced. And ya, the lake is swampy brown.
Revelstoke townsite. The citizens begged for their own national park and finally got one, they refer to it as our national park. I remember that line straight off the plaque. But BC's much more into logging and exploiting its resources.
The drive to Vancouver, stopped in a town called Hope.
And that's it for glacial lakes...on to the cities
