Valemount was our overnight stop and is in a lovely location surrounded by mountains on all sides, this is the snowmobile capital of BC so I guess we will need to come back in the winter.
The local museum in a relocated railway station makes a great visit in the morning with a stop at the Swiss bakery next door providing exceptional pastries for lunch.
We have booked a day's white water rafting in Clearwater for Thursday 26th so a leisurely 100 mile ride to our Motel on the shore of Dutch Lake makes it an easy day on the bike.
It's Canada day on the 1st July & the local horse display team are out practising to an AC/DC track, flags are also on display everywhere as the country gears up for a holiday weekend.
Clearwater gets it's name from the exceptionally clear water in the river & lake due to the volcanic & granite rock with no silt deposit, we have booked the 'Guaranteed Addiction' all day raft trip with IWE http://interiorwhitewater.com/.
Prior to tackling the rapids we take a short hike to Moul Falls with the opportunity to walk behind the cascading water, very refreshing!
The rapids are class 3 & 4 out of 6 with the water very high at the moment and a flow of around 800 cubic metres a second, I think we are addicted.
We negotiate 'The Sabre Tooth' & 'The S Bends' twice as well as 'Shane's Demise' & they don't disappoint, what a great day! If you are out this way you must not pass a raft trip bye.
