“In our journey through life, there are many things to learn, many friends to make and many adventures to be had. Enjoy every mile and every minute along the way!”
I worked all morning and we did laundry before leaving the hostel that we loved. Before departing from Lake Louise, we went on a gondola ride, where we were able to view the mountains and the lakes we had hiked yesterday. Lake Louise can be seen just above the trees on the right in the photo above. Perspective is everything!
Lots of Grizzly Bear activity 
Canada was filled with flower baskets
We headed toward Revelstoke. It is a tiny skiing/winter sport town that we had heard about from my brother and his family who love to ski. For those of you wondering how our tiny cactus is doing… she is thriving and growing in the sunlight from the car’s dashboard! Lol
On the way we turned off at a waterfall that we saw advertised just outside of town. We found ourselves following a long, winding road that want on for many miles. At one point, we almost turned around. It seemed like we were back on a main road or highway instead of a back road to a waterfall. Thank goodness we persevered! What a gem we found.
I wish I could post the video from this waterfall. It was magnificent! The water came from the nearby glacier and as we got closer on the path, the spray from waterfall was freezing cold and the mist sprayed our faces long before we even got close to the falls.
We had a picnic lunch by the river and enjoyed the quiet and solitude so much. There were two rivers leading away from the waterfall. One was crystal clear from the falls and the other one was white as milk. The color is caused by run off silt from the second glacier. The two rivers run side by side and then converge downstream. We spent the day exploring and photographing and enjoying the landscape.
Yoho River is milky white

My favorite part of this lifestyle is that I have the chance to change my plans, explore a location that wasn’t on the plan and make amazing discoveries along the way. I am so grateful to be traveling with my daughter and that we have this time together before she begins school again. It has been precious for us both.
