Sadly, we left the Canadian Rockies today, but we will be returning later in September when we visit both Glacier National Park in the U.S. and Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. For right now, we are in Liberty Lake, Washington, the first town in Washington, on Interstate #90, across the border from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Tomorrow we will be visiting with Marlene and her family and on Thursday we fly out of Spokane for Mike and Kelly's wedding in Cincinnati.
As we mentioned yesterday, the forest fires in Washington state are having a huge impact on the air quality in Canada. Last month when we did this drive we were able to enjoy the fine scenery. Today it was just a memory.
It was kind of eerie.
We passed through a community called Hoodoos, B.C. At least these features showed up more clearly because they were right beside the road.
Hoodoos are always interesting.
Columbia Lake outside of Fairmont Hot Springs.
Even through the haze we could enjoy the scenery.
We stopped for lunch overlooking Moyie Lake, just north the U.S. border, so we could be sure to eat our sliced apples in case Customs wanted to confiscate them. Looks like an ideal setting for lunch.
Actually we were at a roadside overlook.
Welcome back!!
