Mountains of Kootenay National Park
July 7, 2007
We are staying in the Tunnel
Mountain National Park Campground in Banff, Alberta. Tunnel
Mountain Campground offers full hookups, no hookups, and electricity
only. We are in one of the $29.70 electricity only sites. I do not
know what FHU or no hookups cost but they are all in the same area.
All sites are paved.
We must have followed this valley for 30 to 40 miles with spectacular
views of snow capped mountains every way we looked on PH93
in Kootenay Natonal
Park.
Joyce is doing a good job taking these pictures out the front window
of our motorhome.
Some of the mountains are more spectacular than others.
Shadows on the mountains along with the deep green of the conifer
forest make every turn exciting.
Some of that snow is actually deep glaciers that will not melt over
the summer.
Scenes like this will take your breath away.
The valley is beginning to narrow and we are getting closer to the
mountain.
It isn't all up hill but most of it sure is. After all we have to
climb to the Continental Divide on PH
93 in the Canadian
Rockies.
We seem to be missing the uphill grade signs. Anyway, PH
93 through Kootenay
National Park in the Canadian
Rockies is a fun drive in our motorhome.
In this picture you can easily see the layers of sedimentary rock
rising from the Kootenay
River.
