My TripAdvisor Review No.670: Glacier National Park, Trans Canada Highway, BC, Canada.

Avalanche Prone Mountains With Glaciers.

We passed through the Glacier National Park on our coach tour of the Canadian Rockies in August 2019. We were driving along the Trans Canada Highway to Banff National Park and stopped for a while at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site which is at the centre of Glacier National Park.

We could see the high mountain peaks with dense pine forests and active glaciers. There is a lot of wildlife in the forests like bears, wolves, deer, elk, caribou and many more. We saw some stuffed exhibits of these animals in the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. The park has many trails, campgrounds, and some backcountry huts and cabins.

The park is known for its heavy snowfall and avalanches, and maintaining the Trans Canada Highway which passes through the park is a constant challenge. The Canadian Armed Forces help in the task to keep the roads clear with the help of Howitzer cannons which we saw stationed near the Rogers Pass Discover Centre.

My TripAdvisor Review No.669: Yoho National Park, Trans Canada Highway, British Columbia, Ca.

Stunning Lakes And Alpine Scenery.

We passed through Yoho National Park on our coach tour of the Canadian Rockies in August 2019. We were driving along the Trans Canada Highway to Banff National Park and stopped for a while at Emerald Lake which is in Yoho. The waters of the lake were a stunning turquoise colour.

The region is incredibly beautiful with more lakes, forest trails, camping sites, waterfalls and snow capped mountain peaks to be seen. There are some Alpine lodges where you can spend some time and enjoy a blissful vacation hiking, fishing and boating in the lakes. Though we did not spend the night but we enjoyed a stroll around Emerald Lake, which was located near Kicking Horse Pass.

My TripAdvisor Review No.668: Mount Washington Resort Mile High Chairlift, Vancouver Island.

High Point Of Vancouver Island.

Mount Washington is one of the highest peaks on Vancouver island, located 25 km west from Comox Valley. We visited the mountain in August 2019. There is a chair lift which takes you up to the mountain peak in barely 10 minutes. We got fantastic views over the Strait of Georgia and could see some of the West Coast mountains on the mainland. There was still some snow on the ground. In winter Mt. Washington is one of the best ski resorts in British Columbia. The tickets for the chair lift were quite pricey though.
