BC - Cranbrook to Kaslo

Mount Baker RV Park
Site #11 - $28.45, p/w/s, Internet, Temp 16C

It is not pleasant pulling the RV in high winds. The Crowsnest Pass was horrible. Sunday night was spent at Mount Baker RV in Cranbrook. Downtown Cranbrook. I'm not sure why, except that Ron said he's only ever 'driven through' and has never seen the place. Anyway, now we've 'seen' it :)

Mirror Lake Campground
Site #51 - $28, p/w, boil water, no Internet or wood

I love the drive north along Kootenay Lake to Crawford Bay. The road is winding, and the views are beautiful. We caught the ferry and headed to Mirror Lake between Ainsworth Hot Springs and Kaslo.

Ron always asks for "a room with a view" and we did have a nice little spot overlooking the lake. Although 'Lake' is a bit of an exaggeration. A pond would be more accurate! However, it looks like a perfect little swimming hole with a nice sandy beach. If only the weather was slightly warmer! We are enjoying the blue heron and the cormorants that are hanging about.


Today we are in Kaslo for a few supplies. And internet. The young lady in our campground office tells us they believe in 'old fashioned camping' so there is no wifi at Mirror Lake. We will spend another night there before heading to Cherryville area.
