tional Park.
Explore the
Yoho Valley
by road, then head to
Emerald Lake
for an after-
noon walk. If you don't feel like splurging on a park accommodation, continue one hour
west along the Trans-Canada Highway to
Golden.
Day 2
Ride the
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort gondola,
then hit the highway for the one-hour
drive to
Glacier National Park.
This park is spectacular even from the highway, so unless
you're a keen hiker or it's getting late in the day, continue another hour along the Trans-
Canada Highway to
Revelstoke.
After dinner at Woolsey Creek Café, take in an outdoor
evening concert in Grizzly Plaza.
Day 3
Drive south 250 kilometers (156 miles) from Revelstoke along Highways 23 and 6 to
Nel-
son.
Break up the trip with a short detour to
Sandon,
British Columbia's best-known ghost
town, and to watch spawning kokanee at
Kokanee Creek Provincial Park.
Make dinner
reservations at All Seasons Café.
Day 4
Driving through the
West Kootenays
to the
Okanagan Valley
is a delight, although a
roller-coaster Highway 3 means the 260-kilometer (162-mile) trip takes around four hours.
Stop for a swim in
Christina Lake
en route.
