We made it to Donna's! Golden BC to Okanagan Falls BC via Rogers Pass

 

It was a good night camped at the Golden Municipal campground. No train noise overnight, at least none we heard. Before heading out we took a few pics around the campground:

The Kicking Horse river was running high and hard

Log debris in the river

Construction work going on at the town bridge

 

A lot of the travelling pictures today are from the Rogers Pass area. The area offers great mountain views, easier to take pictures than the Kicking Horse pass was:

 



Lots of trucks out today

 


  



  

 

One of several snow sheds on Rogers Pass (we think 7 in all)


You can see the side of the snow shed curving with the road ahead
 

Of course there was construction, one of life's certainties when travelling this time of year. These sites had several little waterfalls cascading down the mountainside into the sites:



The waterfalls originate as meltwater from places like this

 The roads get interesting sometimes in the lower elevations:


I haven't been sending out daily post reminders, as some people thought that wasn't necessary. We likely will only post every few days while we're at Donna's. I'll send a reminder periodically.
