At last! The TransCanadian Highway! I drove this road about eight years ago, and remember it as just about the most beautiful place I've ever seen. In an effort to put Hope far, far behind us, we traveled about six hours up the Highway to the gorgeous little town of Revelstoke - felt very much like Park City, pre-Olympics.
We stayed about 25km up the highway (make no mistake, I have zero physical reference for what a kilometer is, I just know that if you pretend it is a mile, you get there faster than you thought) at a place called Canyon Hot Springs. Austin took this picture on her run - it's a stunning place, nestled in the Canadian Rockies.
Cal availed himself of the Hot Springs pool for about four hours total - the boy loves his water. I sat on my patoot and read People - my intellectual pursuit since the day it went into publication. It was a terrific stop - another place we could have stayed longer.
Oh Canada! Beautiful, eh?
ReplyDeleteHave now caught up with y'all. The trip has been fascinating, thus far, and I look forward to more adventures, be they buggy, floaty, or explosiony. (It is so a word.) A real pity, though, that you didn't take a pic of that one tooth in Hopeless. ;-) xo-Syllie
