August 8, 2015 Mt. Revelstoke National Park; Meadows in the Sky Parkway

And finally, to end a grand day of adventures, we drove up the Meadows in the Sky Parkway to the top of Mt. Revelstoke.  Driving a switchbacky road up a mountain is always interesting!  From the upper parking lot, we hiked the final kilometer up to the top, and then we climbed up the Firehouse Trail to the very tip-top.  Sad to say that the meadows were no longer in full bloom, but there were still plenty of lovely alpine flowers.  A great end to a great day!
