Canmore to Salmon Arm

After an early wake-up, the tourists embarked upon an 8-hour journey West through the Rocky Mountains from Canmore in Alberta to Salmon Arm in British Colombia. The journey was made more pleasant by the fabulous mountain visage, and frequent rest stops. We have now crossed into a different time zone, and are now at -8hrs GMT instead of -7. On our journey, we spotted a wolf, but still no bear activity.

Upon arrival in Salmon Arm we spent half an hour at Lake Shuswap, where we saw ospreys nesting on the lakefront. Salmon Arm is a tranquil town with a population of about 16,000. We then met our billets, with whom we will spend the next two nights.
