After some rain in the night we get up to some refreshed and crisp air. We trace our way back on Trans Can Hwy-1 until we find Hwy-93 and follow the road through the Kootenay NP and along Mt. Assiniboine PP. We make a stop at the Stanley Glacier to admire what is left of it before we continue our way to Radium Hot Springs, BC.
Unfortunately there is no time to enjoy the hot water, but I make a mental note to come back to soak the old bones in the hot water.
After a late breakfast in Radium Hot Springs, BC we continue South along the Columbia Lake PP and the Kootenay River. Finally later the morning the haze and clouds are burned away by the sun proving there is a blue sky after all. There had been forest fires some years ago, and the changes and damages to the landscape are still visible today, even though nature is slowly recovering.
Passing Ft. Steele, BC we continue further South toward the US-CAN border turning West slightly north of Kingsgate, BC to Creston, BC for the night.
"The glacier was God's great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth." - Louis Agassiz - Swiss born American biologist and geologist 1807 - 1873
