Kootenay River

July 6, 2007.

We are staying in Radium Valley Vacation Resort-Resort, in Radium Hot Springs. $51.00 FHU including cable but NO wifi, paved interior roads, large sites with covered picnic tables. The negative with this park is the price and NO wifi. We would much rather stay in the Canyon RV-Park but they were full. We will stay in another park when we return to Radium Hot Springs just because of the price and no wifi. However, if you like resorts with pools and such this would be the place for you.

Driving across Southern British Columbia

We made a change of plans yesterday and decided that we would detour to Calgary and see if we could take in a day or so of the Calgary Stampede. With that decision made we headed to the northeast today to Radium Hot Springs. Our plan is to move to Banff tomorrow then start trying to find an RV-Park in the Calgary area.

Actually, we have an inside track on an RV-Park in Calgary but we have an air conditioner that is acting up so we need to get into a repair shop that can replace a compressor. It would be nice if the mechanic shop had an electrical connection that we could use while they replace our air conditioner compressor. If we can find a place like that we might not need to stay in a campground while in Calgary for the Stampede.

Our drive today was one of contrasts such as the contrast evident in this picture. Our entire day was spent threading our way between and over towering mountains. Notice that these mountains still have visible snow fields.

Mountains of southern British Columbia

While we constantly have views like this it is difficult to get pictures since we are in the motorhome and places to pull over for photographs are few and far between.

This is the Kootenay River looking east with the Canadian Rockies in the background. Folks I want to tell you that those are serious mountains. Notice how muddy the river is.

Kootenay River and Canadian Rocky Mountains

This is the same Kootenay River this time looking to the northeast. It is still muddy and the Canadian Rocky Mountains are still totally awesome.
