After previously off-loading our excess non-packaged meat with Stacie, we headed across the border.
We were told to toss our few remaining blueberries in the international waste bin, and then heading up into Canada. We reloaded on food and went to our campground. Canada has significantly nicer playgrounds than in the USA, on average, in our experience.
Our first destination was Mount Revelstoke National park. The campground site we had was super sloped front to back, and a bit side to side as well. It made us very nervous to unhook the truck with that much slope down towards the front of the RV, but it held. It was in the 6-8" range downhill at the front. We explored up the road, but due to it being early in the season, the whole top half or so was closed. So, we stopped at a few viewpoints, took some pictures, and hung out for a while.
Here is another example of a typical Canadian playground with associated splash park. The next stop was over in Banff at Icefields Parkway. On the way, we drove through Canadian Glacier National Park and Yoho National Park. We tried to stop at Emerald Lake in Yoho, but it was way too busy and they turned us around immediately at the parking area.
The drive in was amazing though. We stayed at Silverhorn creek campground along Icefields parkway. It is a dry camping campground surrounded by stunning mountains in every direction and a nice pond in the middle. There is a creek along one side that we walked along several times.
We took advantage of the decent weather the first afternoon and went to Peyto Lake just down the road. That was the most amazingly blue water ever! It looked so fake. We noticed with these glacial lakes that they look the best when above them, either at a height above or on a canoe on them. When you stand next to them on the lake shore, they don't look as special. We didn't realize we could have walked a little ways away to a different viewpoint to have more space from the buses of people that go to this platform.
