We will begin the chronicle of the day saying Awesome!

The Rocky Mountains They are a display of beautiful excesses: large mountain ranges, some rocky, ridges, lakes, bears, reindeer, corners of paradise, beaches on lakes, snow, sun...

As well endless forests the size of half Europe, with trees of all types, emerging from any ledge, rivers of all sizes, slopes and shades of blue, glaciers, divine excesses, changing landscapes.

It is true that yes the good, brief, twice as good, as someone said, but it's not true here. The good is enormous, immense, incomprehensible.

All photos of the Rocky Mountains that I can show you cannot in any way also capture the air, the smells, the feelings and sensations, the flavors and the senses.

It just can't be. Bruce sounded in the car!!! Sorrows inside!!! To stay!!

What to see on the route through the Rocky Mountains

On this day so full of nature, during the new day of Coast to coast trip through the United States and Canada, we stopped at Sicamous, where we walked along the paths that ran along the lake.

We also saw the beach, with a port and boats. Everything beautiful.

We stop too Revelstoke, where there was a street market; We went to the bank to withdraw Canadian dollars; we admired the mountains that surrounded the town; and we witnessed a championship of lumberjacks cutting logs.

We also had a coffee.

Continuing along the road, which warned us that there would be no gas stations for 150 kilometers, we crossed the Mt Revelstoke National Park that advertised various mountain attractions.

We also crossed an area called Glacier National Park.

We stopped for lunch in a fairly small town called Golden, where we sat on the terrace of a wooden bar that overlooked a river, with its rapids in front of a new wooden bridge.

We had a fabulous meal, with the sun on our faces, and the water of the river relaxing our eyes and ears.

We continue our way towards Calgary passing through two other national parks, the Yoho National Park and Banff National Park, both with many indications of places and activities to do in the area.

We also stopped in the town of Banff, where there were many shops, hotels, and seemed to be a mountain excursion center.

We walked around, visited shops and saw important hotel infrastructure.

We were also able to attend some folk dances on the street that some native Indians of the area performed in a park in the center of the town.
