No a scene I'd associate with Louisiana!




People I work with, and friends that have been to Paris claim it is the most beautiful city in the world. Hands down.
I need to get over there maybe for a long weekend one of these days.

I would guess hwy 3 near Cranbrook, but not entirely sure. I've only ever been over there once before.

The climb up to the summit of Hwy 99 has the 2nd most vertical rise of any hill in BC. The only hill that is higher is hwy 20 out of Bella Coola...

This is my favorite image of the week. Left me starring and wondering about a bunch of things. Awesome pic. I miss every road being a dirt road (I believe I was around in the 1800s). Sunlight has nothing on dirt! lol

Yikes. Is there a weather station at the top of the hill?

Beautiful pics What's the elevation at the top?

The landscape looks a lot drier than I would expect for the BC - does the snow get nice and deep in winter up there?
