Mountains of Kootenay National Park

July 7, 2007

We are staying in the Tunnel Mountain National Park Campground in Banff, Alberta. Tunnel Mountain Campground offers full hookups, no hookups, and electricity only. We are in one of the $29.70 electricity only sites. I do not know what FHU or no hookups cost but they are all in the same area. All sites are paved.

Canadian Rockies, PH93 & Kootenay National Park

We must have followed this valley for 30 to 40 miles with spectacular views of snow capped mountains every way we looked on PH93 in Kootenay Natonal Park.

Joyce is doing a good job taking these pictures out the front window of our motorhome.

Some of the mountains are more spectacular than others.

Magnificent scenery along PH93 in Kootenay National Park & the Canadian Rockies

Shadows on the mountains along with the deep green of the conifer forest make every turn exciting.

Some of that snow is actually deep glaciers that will not melt over the summer.

Scenes like this will take your breath away.

The valley is beginning to narrow and we are getting closer to the mountain.

Steep grade signs on PH93 between Radium Hot Springs & Banff in the Canadian Rockies & Kootenay National Park

It isn't all up hill but most of it sure is. After all we have to climb to the Continental Divide on PH 93 in the Canadian Rockies.

We seem to be missing the uphill grade signs. Anyway, PH 93 through Kootenay National Park in the Canadian Rockies is a fun drive in our motorhome.

This is very near the headwaters of the Kootenay River in the Canadian Rockies on PH93 in Kootenay National Park

In this picture you can easily see the layers of sedimentary rock rising from the Kootenay River.
