Crowsnest Pass and Grand Forks

This was a long drive from Vancouver towards our original destination of Fort Steele. I think Google Maps doesn't account for the fact that you can't drive the speed limit of 100 around the sharp curves of the mountains. So what was supposed to be a 10 hour drive was going to take us well over 13 hours to get there. So we changed plans and got a site in Grand Forks instead. We pulled in around 8 pm, got ourselves set up for the night, and got to shower and sleep.
Highlights from the drive. We stopped for lunch in Hope and let the kids play at a park. We stopped at a fruit market in Keremeos to get some fresh fruit and veggies. I was happy to get to buy some peaches since I missed the Peach Sale in Lumsden this year.
I loved the rockiness of the mountains around Keremeos. When I think of mountains, this is the terrain I imagine. The town of Osoyoos is absolutely breathtaking, and I would definitely like to come back to spend some time there, visiting orchards and wineries.
The kids are becoming pro car riders, and Atlas slept for long portions of the drive.
Today, we will pack up and move on towards Lundbreck Falls.Les mer
