DISCOVER British Columbia - British Columbia: Including the Alaska Highway - page 12

Prince Rupert—but don't push it; the more driving you get done today, the quicker you will
reach the mountains the following day.
Day 10
After the long haul across northern British Columbia, the first views of the Canadian Rock-
ies, two hours' driving beyond Prince George, are a relief. As Mount Robson comes into
view, you will be wowed. Short hikes to viewpoints and waterfalls will fill your afternoon.
Day 11
Drag yourself away from Mount Robson and head south on Highway 5 for four hours to the
river city of Kamloops, then east along the Trans-Canada Highway to Revelstoke. Even if
you're not a railway buff, Craigellachie (site of the last spike on the transcontinental rail-
way) is a pleasant stop along this two-hour stretch of road.
Mount Revelstoke National Park
Day 12
Drive the Meadows in the Sky Parkway near Revelstoke and continue east along the
Trans-Canada Highway for two hours to Yoho National Park. This may be the night for a
splurge at the Emerald Lake Lodge (at the very least, walk around this beautiful lake).
