REVELSTOKE, the only community within striking range of the park, sits just outside the western boundary, but in its promotional pitch chooses to ignore its scenic appeal in favour of a somewhat unimpressive claim to be "Home of the World's Largest Sculpted Grizzly Bears" (they stand at Mackenzie Ave at the entrance to downtown).

REVELSTOKE, the only community within striking range of the park, sits just outside the western boundary, but in its promotional pitch chooses to ignore its scenic appeal in favour of a somewhat unimpressive claim to be "Home of the World's Largest Sculpted Grizzly Bears" (they stand at Mackenzie Ave at the entrance to downtown). Like many mountain towns, it's divided between a motel-and-garage strip along the Trans-Canada and a dispersed, frontier-type collection of houses some distance away. The river and rugged scenery round about redeem it, and the downtown area also has a nice feel, having been spruced up as a placatory measure following the disaster at the dam site. If you're without your own vehicle, note that it's a good twenty-minute walk from the strip.

Well, this is the first draft of our plans to drive from our home in Torbay Newfoundland to Abbotsford BC this summer. We need to be there for the first Monday in July so portions of our trip will be night drives just to get it over with (like the many 14 hour stretches through Ontario!) If anyone has any suggestions for things to see and do along the way, please let us know! We are also planning the return trip so we're saving some things for along the way back home.
