Kicking Horse to Kalanalka

Sunday, June 26, 2011

We spent last night in Monarch campground, near the spiral tunnel overlook on the west side of Kicking Horse pass, in the Yoho National Park.

We continued west on Route 1 through Golden and Revelstoke. We were a little sad to leave the beauty of the mountains behind.

Today was planned as a travel day so we could be at Bigfoot in Armstrong bright and early on Monday morning.

We drove down Route 97A looking for a place to park the caves for the night.  Ah, the joys of finding yet another place for the night.  After looking at a couple of RV parks (one too snazzy, one just toooo creepy), we found our way to Kalanalka Lake Provincial Park a few klicks south of Vernon. The park wasn’t too bad. There were no hookups, but the shower wasn’t too bad. You could push the button and get a few seconds of water before it turned off again. It’s a little hard to try to rinse your hair with one hand and find the elusive button with the other. If you pushed the button several times to try and get a longer spray, it got scalding hot. But hey, the showers were free, eh.
