Another early morning rise and pack up and we were off to Kelowna. As we descended out of the mountains, the temperature quickly rose from the 1 degC we experienced at Lake Louise at 8 am to 28 degC in Kelowna. As our A/C had …
The west coast The drive from Kelowna to Whistler was the less travelled option. We chose not to drive down through Vancouver as we would be doing that drive later in the trip so we detoured north through Merritt, Spence Bridges, Lilooet and Pemberton. The …
