Our third week in Canada was spent on a 1,907 kilometre road trip of Bristish Columbia: Vancouver to Whistler (day 1) to Wells Gray Provincial Park (day 2) to Jasper National Park (day 3) to Lake Louise in Banff National Park (day 4) to Field in Yoho National Park (days 5 and 6) and then a one day 769km mission back to Vancouver (day 7). The distances are big here.
Amazing trip. Here are some photos. Didn't see any bears but spent a lot of time camping in fear of seeing them. We did however see a wolf, a coyote, a moose, countless Elk and a couple of Bald Eagles.
My 30th was spent hiking in the mountains around Yoho National Park. Also discovered an amazing if slightly random restaurant called Truffle Pigs for birthday scallops, steak etc. Complete with bear skin, flying pigs and highbrow life commentary it was a Canadian outpost restaurant on some serious magic truffles. Great food and drink, good times.
As well as the shear distances the thing that suprised me was the difference between areas, we went from rainforest to Mountain to prairies, lakes and rivers to huge mountains to vineyards and almost desert like areas.
