Lesser Known Lovely Spots in the British Columbia region of National Parks, eh?

This is a little lake at the summit of Mt. Revelstoke.

While Banff and Lake Louise and Jasper are the crown jewels of the Canadian Rockies, we have not been disappointed with lesser known treasures like Yoho, Kootenay, and Glacier and Revelstoke. Lovely hikes and far fewer people, too. Spent two days in Revelstoke and were lucky enough to use the one day of sun to go to the peak of Mt. Revelstoke.

(The rainy day we spent at museums and doing the basic housekeeping and repairs of trailer and selves.)

We were intrepid enough to take the trailer down a three-mile rutted road to spend the night at Kinbasket Lake, just because it sounded lovely, and indeed, in the morning, after a night of solid rain, the lake sparkled and we decided it was worth the effort.

Now in the Okanagan Valley, the mountains give way to rolling hills, the glaciers are replaced with emerald green farm fields, and our Canadian adventure is slowly coming to a close as we approach the Canadian/US border in a day or two. To celebrate our journey, we discovered a fabulous Greek restaurant--Dorian's Greek restaurant-- in Vernon, B.C. where Ray had the opportunity to exercise his Greek in an extended conversation with the owners and chef. And we have left-overs of the Moussaka and ribs enough for at least another meal!
