We got an early start since all the housekeeping tasks were taken care of last evening. The only thing we had to do before we got on the highway was get some gas – no small feat with an RV in Banff. After filling up we got on the highway toward Lake Louise, about 30 miles away.
Lake Louise is a fairly small lake that is surrounded, right down to the water, by huge mountains on three sides and a luxury hotel on the fourth.
Canada’s Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway is a really nice road. From Banff to Lake Louise it runs North and South following the Bow River Valley. After Lake Louise it continues North for a while and then heads South, going around the mountains. There are some climbs and descents but nothing worse than you’d find on the U.S. Interstate Highways. Many miles of the road are two lanes while many more have been ‘twinned’ to 4 lanes. The scenery continues to be awesome.
Revelstoke is a town and a National Park. We decided to stay at the KOA just East of Revelstoke town and visited the National Park which is basically a mountain. There is a road -26km long – up the side of the mountain with a short hiking trail and some meadows full of wildflowers at the top. We really enjoyed it..
It looks like our “fuel starvation” issues are now fixed – no issues today. The trouble with replacing things in a ‘shotgun’ manner is that you don’t know what fixed it – the good thing is that it is fixed.
