Valemount - More relaxing

Stayed in a lovely log cabin last night by a lake with a roaring fire. Vicky got carried away and used a couple of weeks worth of logs in one night, in fact it was so hot we had to move into the bedroom to escape the furnace.

Today we drove to Valemount as a stop-over for our next destination: Kamloops. We passed by Mount Robson the highest mountain in the Rockies at 3900metres. So big it generates its own weather, it was certainly changeable driving beside it. We saw deer, three elk grazing by the side of the road, and a family of black bears. The big bear was eating beside the road, and three small cubs were up in a nearby tree. We stayed near to the car this time so the photos are not as clear. It was very strange when driving to see a road sign advising motorists to check the time and move clocks back one hour. It shows how big Canada is to change timezones when just driving. Unfortunately it does mean we get one extra hour in Valemount which doesn't appear to be much more than a truck stop on the long journey between Jasper and Kamloops. We are considering whether to go to Wells Gray Provincial Park tomorrow. The park is so wild that mountains remain un-named and unclimbed within it.
