The real stuff started today! We went into the first of the National parks of the trip – Revelstoke. Almost as soon as we’d entered, we headed up the Meadows in the Sky parkway, which took  us most of the way to the top of Mt. Revelstoke, a short walk taking us the rest of the way. The first real views from the tops of mountains, of lakes, valleys and promises of more mountains to come.

Next was Glacier national park, which we went through fairly quickly, though stopping at Rodgers Pass, the highest point on the road. Finally, it was Yoho, though that was an even quicker pass through – before arriving in Banff; where we’d been upgraded to a (vast!) loft suite.
