KOOTENAY PLAINS


Our next stop was one of my all time favorite campgrounds.  It was the Cavalcade Campground in the Kootenay plains area of the Canadian Rockies.  While here we visited the Athabasca  Glacier and did several hikes in the area including one that took us to an area where the First Nation’s People built their sweat lodges every year. Camping here was also dry camping but the views made it worth it.
