First North America Adventure

You seem to have covered the best of it. Missing Jasper wasn't much of a loss when you do the others.

What was there at Valemount and Blue River?

Valemount….very little. Seems to be a forestry town with maybe 1500 residents. We stopped there for dinner on the way to the Mike Wiegele helicopter ski resort. Valemount does hav3 @ cannabis retail outlet though. And no, we didn’t sample it.

Blue River also seemed to be a small village, where the ski helicopter resort was and also where we did the eco-safari canoe trip. We arrived in the dark and left the resort straight after a sumptuous breakfast so didn’t do any independent exploration.

Thanks, Deno. Happy to answer any questions.

Where did you do the wine & cheese tasting from. My wife is interested already, as I am of course.

Deano, I remained sober but I can’t recall the exact name of the winery. It was out of Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley.

Some fabulous wineries there. Unfortunately its pretty much Merlot blended with everything.

I must admit, this was the first “group” activity on the first day so a focus was on getting to know our travelling companions more so than the wine. It was interesting hearing from the winemaker. The wines we tasted weren’t half-bad though, to an untrained palate.
