July 27, 2013: Cache Creek, BC to Valmount, BC


We drove east from our campground in Cache Creek on route 97 to Kamloops, the only city for hundreds of miles and stopped for groceries. 


Forest fire
 
We saw a forest fire across the lake and watched for a while.  We could see helicopters scooping water from the lake and dropping it on the fire.  The smoke had drifted all the way into Kamloops.


It was a pretty drive starting with dry arid hills and climbing into the lush green hills of the Canadian Rockies foothills.

We continued north on scenic route 5 to Valmount, a small town that serves as the eastern gateway to Jasper National Park.
