After we left Shuswap Lake Provincial Park in B.C., Canada, we headed home to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. All the photos were taken through the car’s window.
The weather was foggy and rainy.

Rogers Pass, British Columbia, Canada.
“Rogers Pass was declared a National Historic Site in 1971 to commemorate the early route- finding, building and operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s main line between 1881 and 1917, and the Pass’ pivotal role in the development of Canada as a nation.” – Parks Canada
Driving on the Trans Canada Highway through the Canadian Rockies. We could see the tip of the mountain above the clouds.
Inside a snow shed.
“Snow sheds were first created in the late 1800s and became the foundation for sustaining rail transportation in colder regions. They are what they sound like – structures with sloped roofs that deflect snow over the top of long sections of track, sort of like long car ports.” – BNSF Railway
THERE’S SNOW PLACE LIKE A SNOW SHED.
“An amazing feat in and of itself at a cost of over $1 billion, the TCH is now considered the world’s longest national road, covering some 4,860 miles (7,821 km) over mountains, across prairies, through forests, and beside majestic waters, crossing six time zones. The TCH truly traces the heartbeat of Canada.” – Route Magazine
“The Rockies vary in width from 110 to 480 kilometres (70 to 300 mi). The Rocky Mountains contain the highest peaks in central North America. The range’s highest peak is Mount Elbert located in Colorado at 4,401 metres (14,440 ft) above sea level. Mount Robson in British Columbia, at 3,954 metres (12,972 ft), is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies”.- Wikipedia
The wildlife corridor near the Lake Louise turnoff.
“…a wildlife corridor is a protected route that allows wildlife to move safely between areas of suitable habitat. In the Banff area, corridors are typically narrow, funnel-shaped tracts of land between the developed areas and the steep mountain slopes.” –Parks Canada.
“The Canadian Rockies (French: Rocheuses canadiennes) or Canadian Rocky Mountains, comprising both the Alberta Rockies and the British Columbian Rockies, is the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains. It is the easternmost part of the Canadian Cordillera, which is the northern segment of the North American Cordillera, the expansive system of interconnected mountain ranges between the Interior Plains and the Pacific Coast that runs northwest–southeast from central Alaska to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico.” – Wikipedia
“The Trans-Canada Highway near Banff has million-dollar overpasses just for wildlife”- Canada Cool
“Located in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, 110–180 kilometres (68–112 mi) west of Calgary, Banff encompasses 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 sq mi)[3] of mountainous terrain, with many glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes.”- Wikipedia
There were plenty of rented RVs on the road.
A photo of Bow Lake, Alberta, Canada, is visible on the rear of the RV.
I loved the cover of the RV in front of us.
