From Houston, BC we continued our drive southeast on the Trans Canada Highway through Prince George to Mount Robson Provincial Park. We saw the top of Mount Robson for a moment when the clouds parted. On Labor Day weekend we soaked in Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park. Our final week in Canada was like icing on a cake. Most of the time the weather was excellent. We had beautiful views of mountains in Jasper, Yoho, Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks. The Jasper Tramway took us 3297 feet up Whistlers Mountain where we took a steep hike to the top. At Maligne Lake we took a boat ride to Spirit Island. Near Kicking Horse Pass in Yoho National Park we watched a train travel through a spiral tunnel. We drove to near the top of Mount Revelstoke and enjoyed the views from the summit. We had 2 beautiful free ferry rides across Upper Arrow (Columbia River) and Kootenay Lakes with our RV. We soaked in 2 beautiful hot springs, Nakusp Hot Springs and Ainsworth Hot Springs. Nakusp has crystal clear water and provided flotation for a very relaxing float in a large hot spring pool. The first night the sky was exceptionally clear and dark and we had a beautiful view of the heavens floating in the pool. Ainsworth has an amazing horseshoe shaped cave with waist deep hot water that really opened up the sweat glands. Crossing the border into Idaho was a piece of cake with only a few questions to answer. It was wonderful to be back in the lower 48 states where we can use our Verizon phone and internet service. We drove across Montana and visited Yellowstone National Park a second time. After a day in Yellowstone seeing a few places we missed on our first visit we drove to Devils Tower National Monument where we camped for 3 nights. Following are a few pictures from our drive across British Columbia and Alberta.
