After re-reading the previous post I realized how much I'd short-changed the area around Golden, which really was one of the prettiest areas we've seen on this trip. Fact is that I'm running out of descriptive superlatives to describe the scenery here that continues to amaze.
Rather than continue to go on about this I'll just present the photos below without too much comment and let you enjoy some of the sights we encountered during our stay in the Columbia River valley of British Columbia.

Looking down on Golden from the Trans-Canada Highway.
The pedestrian footbridge in the town that crosses the Columbia River connecting the two halves of the town.
A pause along one of our hikes.
You need to click on this photo and enlarge it in order to appreciate the color of the water here.
Just another bend along the road on one of our hikes. The pretty vistas go on and on.
From Golden we drove over to Kamloops for a couple of nights. The city is the hub of central BC and a natural stopover between the Rockies and the Pacific Coast. That said, it was a bit of a disappointment after our time in the mountains. Kamloops is situated in the middle of what is essentially desert - pretty arid country all around. Nice to have stopped there but we won't be returning (on purpose anyway) any time soon.
Next up is Whistler.
