Green Lake, BC

On Monday morning we left Hope and decided to stop at the Coquihalla Tunnels. We hadn’t been there in over 25 years! It still is an engineering marvel.

We made a pit stop (pun intended!) to pick up some fresh fruit for eating. We carried on to Revelstoke in time for dinner at Nick’s Dad’s home with Bernie, Nick and Samantha.

Tuesday we went down to Halcyon Hot Springs. It’s about an hour south of Revelstoke with a ferry ride on the Arrow Lakes. It was a beautiful sunny day and perfect for sightseeing!

We had a great relaxing time floating around the hot springs pools! There were 4 pools in total at the cute Halcyon Hot Springs Hotel. One pool was 100 F, the hottest one was 107 F, and the plunge pool was an icy 50 F! For the record, Pam did the plunge pool once and I managed twice (very quickly, mind you!) There was another pool on a lower deck overlooking beautiful Arrow Lake and it was a normal pool temp.

We headed back to Revelstoke to pick up Samantha and Nick and head down to Three Valley Gap for a tour around the museum. There was a lot to look at so it took us just about 3 hours to go through and see everything. I’m sure we missed something.

There are a lot more pictures under the photo album tab above.

The weather for the whole trip was great! Wednesday we left for home with a quick stop back in Salmon Arm for more fruit.

We also stopped in Kamloops to pick up a few groceries before heading home.

Teresa was nice enough to take some time off work to come home and look after the dogs for us while we were away. We really appreciated her doing that and I know that the dogs really appreciated it as well!
