Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Valemount

The hike to Berg Lake in British Columbia's Mt Robson Provincial Park is one of the better known ones in this part of the world, and justly so. The entire length of the hike is scenic and the destination is beautiful.

Our day started early because you have to reserve your campsite in person, and we were worried that we would miss out (only 26 per cent of the sites can be reserved over the phone in advance). There were a few people in the queue at 7 am, and the line ...

Left Prince George on our first leg heading home landed at Valemount BC. We spend our time cleaning and oiling and repairing anything on the truck and rv getting ready for our trip home. Ray and Christa

... lunch at the train station. The town was established as a multi-directional point for the railroad, and trains still stop at the little station although it does not function as a train station. It is now a visitor center, gift shop and café. We were safely in Valemount by early afternoon and arrived to temperatures in the 90's. Now what did I do with ...

It was a relatively event free travel day today along the Yellowhead Highway in British Columbia. Woke up early again and since it was another nice day (we did not get too many of these in Alaska) we took our time leaving this nice little campground. I did some more blogging from all the pictures & video I took the other day and finished in very little time since the internet was working well. The Wi-Fi works well at these places in the morning & afternoon - not so well in the ...

Heading for the "Real Rockies" as Jono suggested, we stopped in Valetown for coffee -two women there remind Brian of the book Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Not sure what that says about the place....but Valetown offers incentives for the more mature traveler to stay on longer - prominently displaying a sign for Seniors Discounts at the local motel chain. We noted - with relief - that ...

I made my escape from Lake Louise this morning just as the Australian tourists were descending. Busloads of retirees with loud Strine accents (or is it that my ear is just more finely tuned to it amongst all the other accents?) The breakfast cafe was a sea of ruddy-faced men and ladies in polar fleece or track suits. Please, if I ever book myself on to a ...

... Not sure what we would do if we actually met one though! The pyramid lake was really beautiful, sun was shining all day, really warm, T shirt weather again. Leaving tomorrow to make our way to Nordegg and then on to Lake Louise. The food and hospitality in Canada is great and they are so friendly. Hope you all had a good Easter. Take care and we will post another episode soon. Lots of love Terry and Kim xxx

4hours sleep and I am surprisingly chirpy in the morning! I jump on my Moose bus and say hi to everyone. I mayyyy have still been a bit drunk ;). We started off with a full bus but dropped most of the people off at the first stop (lake louise) so just four of us were left; Me, Mikael and two japanese girls + our tour guide Ianna. We travelled from Banff to Jasper ...

... itself - two main streets and lots of souvenir stores. After dinner we weren't quite ready to go home so we found a bar and sat for a few drinks. There was a football game on between the New York Giants and the San Diego Chargers. We watch right to the end. Neither of us really knew what was going on but the lovely bar tender answered one or two questions for us throughout the game. The following morning was an early start. It was cold ...
