Alberta Beach /Edmonton
18 agosto 2016, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
Monday we headed out of the Canadian Rockies, east on the Yellowhead hwy, to the prairies of Alberta and our next destination at Alberta Beach Golf and RV Resort. We took a bike ride around Alberta Beach. Interesting fact: most folks keep their boats on lifts out on the lake vs mooring or docking, we were told due to wind and ice.
Tuesday we drove to Edmonton visited the Government House, rode our bikes along the Saskatchewan River, shopped at the West Edmonton Mall and provisioned at Costco. The mall was awesome with indoor water and amusement parks, 5+ food courts, skating rink and a huge Asian market with delicacies such as marinated pork bung and happy pig custard buns. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Edmonton_Mall
Wednesday we drove to Wabamun Lake, not much to see, and Spruce Grove.
Thursday we headed to downtown Edmonton wandered around Winston Churchill Square, where the Lebanese Festival was in full swing, then to Chinatown where we had lunch at a fantastic Italian bakery/deli.Leggi altro

Drumheller, Alberta
19 agosto 2016, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
Friday we cruised south through grain and cornfields to Dinosaur Trails RV Resort outside of Drumheller. Good weather, good roads, good scenery!
Saturday morning we dropped by the visitors center, home of the world's biggest Dinosaur, then took a bike ride along the Red Deer River, went to the farmer's market and took a walking tour of downtown Drumheller where dinosaurs abound.
Saturday afternoon we drove southeast on Hwy 10, the Hoodoo Trail, with a turnoff onto 10X crossing 11 1-2 lane metal bridges. Traveled on hwy 10 to the Hoodoos, small beans compared to Bryce Canyon. Walked across the Rosedale Suspension Bridge before taking the Dinosaur Trail/hwys 837 & 838 and the Bleriot Ferry back to camp. A good day of exploration 😊Leggi altro

Sunday morning we hiked the Interpretive Trail behind the Royal Tyrrell Museum then rode our bikes on the Badlands Trail. Later on we enjoyed some yummy grilled sandwiches at the Meat Club then stopped at the Little Church on our way back to camp.
Monday was spent touring the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, a definite must see if you're in the area.

Magrath, Alberta
24 agosto 2016, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
We departed Drumheller on Tuesday... stormy with wind and rain Monday night and the first half of our journey to Covered Wagon RV Park in Magrath.
We bought some corn, salsa, tortillas, peach pepper jelly and a smoked brisket dinner at the Farmers Market held in the Event Center/hockey rink in Magrath. Very nice indoor market.
Wednesday we drove an hour west to Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Center, a World Heritage Site. The Blackfeet Indians presented a program then we toured the excellent museum and took a short hike on the interpretive trail. http://history.alberta.ca/headsmashedin/
We grabbed lunch at Tim Horton's, Canada's biggest fast food chain...food was pretty good, sandwiches, salads and doughnuts, no burgers. When we got home Kuma tagged along on our bike ride on the trail behind our campground.Leggi altro

Thursday was spent exploring Lethbridge where we visited the Gault Museum http://galtmuseum.com then hiked to Fort Whoop Up http://fortwhoopup.com/, great views of the High Level Bridge from the trailhttp://www.visitlethbridge.com/mobile/profile.a…
You really know you're in Canada when there's poutine at Costco's snack bar...yummy!

Friday we traveled to Waterton Lakes National Park. http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/ab/waterton/index… where we stopped at Cameron Falls and the Prince of Wales Hotel then hiked Red Rock Canyon and Crandell Lake. Beautiful! We finally saw a black bear... far away on a slope😀🐻Leggi altro

Hungry Horse, Montana
27 agosto 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
We departed Magrath Saturday and arrived at Mt Meadows RV Park in Hungry Horse this afternoon.
We had a wonderful 28 days exploring Canada. We'll miss their excellent highways, national parks, paved multiuse paths, friendly people and favorable exchange rate (though net cost was about even because goods and services are about 25% higher). Good to be back in the USA... missed miles, gallons, fahrenheit, pounds and unlimited data on our phones!
Sunday we took in Kalispell, Whitefish, Whitefish Lake and Hungry Horse Dam and Reservoir. We treated ourselves at the Huckleberry Pie and Jam Factory... delicious homemade huckleberry pie and ice cream.Leggi altro

We drove east on Going to the Sun Road for our best hike so far. Logan Pass to Hidden Lake on the Continental Divide, a bit of a grind but well worth the effort. Wildflowers, marmots, mountain goats and gorgeous views.

Deer Park, WA
1 settembre 2016, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
We departed Hungry Horse on Wednesday. The drive to Spokane RV Resort in Deer Park was uneventful with scenic water views along Flathead Lake, the Clark Fork River and Lake Couer d'Alene.
We started Thursday in Spokane at Pig Out in the Park. We listened to music and ate a brick of taco curly fries and deep fried lasagna...YUM, we definitely satisfied our carnival food craving for this year! http://www.spokanepigout.com/program
Had to burn some calories so we biked the Spokane River Centennial Trail. The trail took us across numerous bridges, through parks, along ridges and at water level with beautiful views of the river, falls and downtown.Leggi altro
