Temps: 20C

Sunny and Clear

Off to a late start after a cold, rainy night, we stopped in Revelstoke looking for an internet connection and coffee. Revelstoke is a very nice if somewhat touristy little town with a cobblestone main street of upscale little shops….Four dollars for two coffees, no working internet. We crossed the street and managed to poach a connection from the uppity juice shop opposite. Just a quick check on the weather, a quick note to Mikie, a note to the realtor, an unsuccessful attempt to contact Sue’s cousin Mark in Cranbrook, and off we went towards golden. Once in Golden, we stopped into the Safeway for coffee cream, hotdog buns and wieners; we tried to contact Mark again and suspecting the family was away we headed east toward Yoho National Park instead of south.

By now we were being overwhelmed by the majesty of the Rockies and the scenery went from wow to …??? Words cannot describe!

We pulled into Chancellor Park Campground in Yoho. This campground is situated on a small island in the middle of the Kicking Horse River and is surrounded by forested mountainsides with rocky peaks in every direction.
