My 2001 tour in western Canada was far more exciting than the 1999 tour. The weather was great: sun, sun, sun, ... (except for the very British weather in Vancouver). The hikes and scrambles were cooler. And so on... ;-)

• August 2001
• dry conditions in the rockies (no snow on trails)
• 15 days of holiday
• 4035 km with a Pontiac Sunfire
• numerous hikes
• 7 scrambles
• 8 pages of credit card bill ;-)

• Aug 4: From Vancouver to Kelowna via HW99
• Aug 5: Wine Route - Manning Provincial Park - Fraser River
• Aug 6: From the Okanagan to Revelstoke National Park
• Aug 7: Glacier National Park
• Aug 8: Lake Louise
• Aug 9: Moraine Lake and Tower of Babel
• Aug 10: Bow Lake and Parker Ridge

• Aug 12: Indian Ridge from Whistler Mountain
• Aug 14: Kootenay National Park
• Aug 15: From Kimberley via Fort Steele to Whitefish
• Aug 16: The Going-To-The-Sun Road & Mt. Reynolds
• Aug 17: The Last Scramble
• Aug 18: Cameron Falls - Bear's Hump - Red Rock Canyon & Blakiston Falls - Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump - Calgary

Scientists never write something without drawing conclusions. So, here are mine:

• The rockies are nice playground ;-)
• Hostels are a good place for meeting nice people.
• This is not my last visit to the Canadian Rockies. Who wants to join me next time?
