The Trans Canada Highway going east. The sign warns of an Avalanche tunnel coming up, which protects the highway in the winter.

Going south, we stopped a Radium Hot Springs for several days at another nice mountain campground.

Kootenay National Park, just outside of Radium Hot spring, where we spent a day to see the sights.

Heading south into Montana, just as the there is a hint of snow on the mountain tops.

After leaving our Pacific campsite, where this eagle made it's home, we drove north following the Olympic Peninsula to the lumber town of Forks.

A day trip took us to the Hoh rain forest to walk the trails through the lush greenery...

....and checked out the big trees. These are Douglas fir and can be more than 200 feet tall and 8-10 feet in diameter.
