Sickest Drive of My Life

We have arrived in Revelstoke, British Columbia after the sweetest drive on the planet. It was truly unbelievable. I can't begin to describe what we saw. Turn after turn we were more awestruck!

After skiing Whitefish we headed up towards Glacier National Park. We checked it out and since it was mostly closed we weren't able to do much. We made our way towards the Canadian border. Believe it or not when two guys are trying to get across the border and they have sketchy beards and are both unemployed a red flag is raised... At our first try we were denied access into Canada. We were forced to bring back proof that we had money in our bank accounts. Very lame! We turned around and headed back into Montana to go about 25 miles to the nearest town, hoping there was an ATM to print off our balances. Well, there was an ATM so we printed off our balances and headed back to the border. When we got there it was a new guy we were talking to and were basically zipped right through. Rather frustrating at times...oh well we're in Canada!

From there we headed towards Banff and hung out in the town and had dinner. After dinner we headed towards Lake Louise and stopped by the Banff Springs Hotel. It is unbelievable! It is basically a castle. Google it right now! Do it. You'll see.....

We found a spot on the road to pull over and sleep. It was a trail head right next to a railroad track. Yup it was a real railroad track. I think there were four trains that went by. Quite and experience....rather difficult to sleep when a train goes by.

This morning we headed towards Lake Louise and it was awesome as well. Looking across the lake you can see a glacier on the other side. Real sweet! After that we headed up towards Jasper National Park and the Columbia Icefield which is a hgue glacier that is on the top of the divide and feeds water down every direction.

The drive to and from the icefield was unbelievable. After the icefield we headed back to Lake Louise and on our way into British Columbia. As we made our way into BC we realized there were more and more sick views everywhere we looked. Truly unbelievable.

Now we're in Revelstoke, BC. Hoping for some snow but its not looking good for snow.

Pray for snow!
