Revelstoke to Radium Hot Springs

Well we did well again tonight.  We are at another lodge (Hillcrest Coast lodge) and again it is beautiful. Set up away from the city with great mountain view, a great restaurant, a great hot tub, and nice room with a balcony.  I can understand why people love it up here.  It is just so beautiful and refreshing, at least until winter arrives.   I highly recommend using Trip Advisor. It has not been wrong yet

We finally sampled poutine, a Canadian dish of French fries, cheese curds and gravy.  Not bad.

We drove into Revelstoke and had breakfast at wonderful Tim Hortons after searching the town for a little local cafe.  We then visited the large hydro electric dam in the area. What a sight.  We got to tour the facility's and ride up to the top of the dam in an elevator to view it from there.

Headed out of town to Radium Hot Springs at the foot of the Kooteney Mountains.  The drive was beautiful as we approached Canada's Glacier National Park.   I still marvel at the majesty of the mountains.  The crest of the mountains is called Rogers Pass.

Apparently this area was very difficult to build the road in and many lives were lost due avalanches

We will head out on our final day tomorrow.   Staying at a little inn tonight called Crystal Springs. We had a great dinner at a German restaurant tonight -very good even if the wait was long.  We then drove around and saw the most unusual house as featured on TV, mountain goats along the road (Must have been about 10 to 15 of them).
