We left the vineyards and smoke filled air of Kelowna and traveled northeast to the smoke filled air of Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks in British Colombia. There were over 566 wildfires in British Colombia. A state of emergency was declared. Most of the fires were caused by lightning. Even though the fires took away from the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and severely limited our activities, we still explored and enjoyed the hiking trails and waterfalls.
