Sunday 4th and Monday 5th September: A Walk, A Dam and A Mountain

We are having a bit of R & R and this morning have a long walk along the banks of the Illecillewaet River, try saying that after a few bevy's !!

View from Martha Creek of Revelstoke Lake
We visted the Revelstoke Dam, no cameras allowed, hence no pics, and did the tour, very interesting, we have not "done" a dam tour since The Hoover Dam tour we did in the late 1970's, Back then security was a lot more relaxed !
Martha Creek was a nice spot for our lunchtime sandwich

Monday and another blue sky morning, we head back up to the summit of Mount Revelstoke, it is so beautiful up here and so peaceful. We hike for a couple of hours through the alpine meadows. We are so lucky that due to the fact that this year they still had snow here until mid July the wildflower season is later. There have been frosts for the past couple of nights and we did notice driving up that the colours are not quite so vibrant as they were 2 days ago but still very pretty.
Snow is here usually until last week of June and the first fall end of October

Tomorrow we are back on Highway 1 and our next destination Kelowna
Over and out for now from The Happy Travellers.........
