Canada - Kamloops to Revelstoke

On the road to Revelstoke we stopped about midway at a Railway museum for coffee and then on to Revelstoke. Revelstoke is a sweet little village and our accommodation here is really nice, we are staying for two nights.

In the afternoon we went to the Revelstoke dam and then onto Mount Revelstoke National park where we did some short walks in the park. We also caught a shuttle the last km to the top where there were wild flowers and spectacular scenery although it did rain on and off.

Revelstoke
Today the weather is much better and we have mostly sunny skies which is excellent - we are in the Glacier National Park today which has 422 glaciers, alot of them are really small but we did see a fair amount even though alot of the ice has melted. We did a few short hikes, the Giant Cedars trail and the Skunk cabbage trail and had lunch alongside a nice creek after visiting the Rogers Pass discovery centre. We finished off the day at the Loop Brook trail which was the longest and used to be part of the big railway system from East to West Canada.
