Today we rode exactly 250 miles although it seemed like much more
For the trip, we have now covered 1,693 miles

The Canadian Rockies are truly gorgeous!

Later in the day, the elevation started to rise

There were many trains operating along side the highway
They often would have a couple locomotives up front
and a helper locomotives in the middle.
In one case, there was a pusher locomotive at the end

At this time, we had used about two-thirds of our tank of gas.
I tried to stop at a Shell station, but the pumps all had long lines
and most of the vehicles were RV's and trailers.
I opted to head out and catch the next station down the road

Upon leaving Revelstoke, there was an ominous sign saying
that gasoline was rare on the road ahead.
Of course, this sign was past the town.
So... we doubled back and found a place to fuel up

Revelstoke is also the name of a Canadian National Park
Canadian national parks are not like Yellowstone or Yosemite,
They pretty much limit their facilities to a few signs and perhaps a rest room
Glacier National Park seems to have very few glaciers and no facilities either

Very slow, very frustrating.  Seldom hitting the speed limit
which varies from 70 to 90 kph (42-54 mph) with an occasional 100 (62 mph)

One good thing is that we spotted a mountain goad peacefully
grazing on the side of the mountain about 20 feet from the road traffic
We had seen a sign earlier in the day, but we never believe these signs
 A sure way to know if there are no elk around is to see an elk sign
