Revelstoke -> Jasper (Part 1)

Big day of driving!! I thought the first day was the biggest but turns out this one beat it with over 450km on the roads. The smoke was still hanging around Revelstoke in the morning so we got out early and headed towards Jasper.

Short stop in Golden to fill up on fuel and groceries (last one before Jasper), then we headed onto highway 93. The smoke cleared up and the sun came out - the views were really just as amazing as everyone said. I have about 200 photos of the drive alone, and struggling to pick my favourite for this post. So many places we wanted to stop on the journey, but not enough time for them all.

First lake we stopped at was Lake Herbert. Armed with our newly acquired bear spray we bravely ventured a full 50m around the lake before finding a fab spot for swimming. Quick trip back to the car for picnic supplies and camping chairs and we had a great setup on the waterfront. After lunch we had a quick swim in the lake, which was unbelievably clear.

End of part one! Have to split this into two post because we’ve hit the picture limit.Read more
