Day 4 - Kootenay and YoHo National Parks






Filled gas in the jeep $1.269/liter Canadian) and took off to Kootenay NationalPark, down to Radium Hot Springs where the visitor center is. From there over to Golden and in to Yoho National Park with a stop at Fields where their visitor center is.

We went to Emerald Lake, which is mostly frozen over, and to Natural Bridge, which had people crawling all over it. There were busloads of people at both places. We can’t imagine it in the summer time. A stop at the spiral tunnels. From there the road goes back to Lake Louise and on highway 1 to Banff. 


We saw grizzly bears on the roadside in Kootenay National Park. They were behind a barrier eating, so it was hard to get good pictures of them.  In the town of Radium Hot Springs, after leaving the visitor center, there was a traffic jam of bighorn sheep!



It started snowing late afternoon and into the evening. That wasn’t in the forecast, but we were back home by then.
