1 September 2014 All it took was a forecast of snow to get us moving…
Nippy air and cloudy skies prompted a hasty exit from Lake Louise. Time to get to a lower elevation somewhere
west. This meant taking the Trans Canada (Hwy 1) toward Salmon Arm – about 3200’
lower.

| Just starting west - Yoho National Park coming up in 1 km |
If you’re curious what the drive is like and don’t want to
wait for Google’s little man to show you street images take a look at this
little slide show (click)
No big deal in a car. More challenge with a motorhome - lots
of steep hills and a few sharp corners. When they post 50 or 40 km limits you
pay attention or you get to take the fast elevator down the hill (as in over
the side). If you have a diesel truck or motorhome with an exhaust (“Jake” or
Jacobs) brake you will know why I fondly kiss that switch at the end of a hilly
run. Otherwise, you might think this practice is weird. Norene skips the
exhaust brake switch and goes directly to kissing terra firma on these days.
No I don't have a picture.
