Fort Steele was just a one day stop, mainly to empty and fill our tanks for another two days of dry camping.
We arrived at the First Nations campground on Thursday. While we were there one of the First Nations People gave us a talk on the Ktunaxa Nation. We also visited Radium Hot Springs and took a few short hikes. On the second evening the Akisqnuknik First Nations prepared a nice salmon dinner for us with blueberry cobbler for desert. They also served wine with our meal from one of their wineries.

Our next stop was Revelstoke, BC. On Sunday we went to church and in the afternoon we hiked some of the mountain trails for about three hours, the wild flowers in the mountain meadows were in full bloom and beautiful.
On Monday morning we visited the railway museum and learn about the building of the first Canadian Pacific Railway through the Rocky Mountains. In the afternoon we visited the Nickelodeon Museum. Our guide demonstrated all of the mechanical musical players from organ to piano’s to music boxes ranging back four centuries. There have been several small fires in the mountains around us caused by lighting. This evening the were landing helicopters just a couple hundred feet from our trailer for refueling.
On Tuesday we head for Kelowna, BC.
