Canada’s Columbia River

Boulder Mountain Lookout (Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada)

While traveling from Golden to Kamloops this past summer we took a break in Revelstoke to do the Boulder Mountain Lookout Trail. This wasn’t the first time we saw the Columbia River in Canada on this trip, but it was probably the most impressive view we had of a river that we have seen countless times before in Oregon and Washington.

Yes, those be people down there walking through the crater. A half hour later and we found ourselves in that same location.

Wildflower heaven

Wildflowers in Banff’s Sunshine Meadows

Today’s photo comes from the most wildflower day of my 56 years of existence. We hiked almost 10 miles and had wildflowers for most of them. Sometimes there were so many wildflowers my brain felt like it would explode. So many different ones too. We saw at least a dozen different varieties of wildflowers amongst the thousands (millions?) of total wildflowers.

I didn’t realize this at the time, but our hiking started in Alberta, crossed into British Columbia for three or four miles, and then ended up back in Alberta.
