... leaving here mid to late July . Probably drive fairly steady until we get to B.C. then slow it down. Looking at taking I-90 and then cutting up to B.C. and hooking up with the Cassiar. Any suggestions on a border crossing and route to connect with the Cassiar?
G, if you're thinking drive to Spokane then north you could: cross at Nelway and possibly visit some W Kootenay towns like Nelson, maybe Ainsworth hot springs, Kaslo, Nakusp then make your way to #1 TCH. Or, cross at Osoyoos and possibly up thru Penticton to Vernon. This is the Okanagan and be warned it's gonna be busy in summer and prob hot, but the fresh peaches might just make it worthwhile. Consider parts of the KVR esp Myra Canyon if you'll have bikes, or even for walking.
From Kamloops on the TCH you could take #5N, the positive here would be a chance to visit Wells Gray PP (waterfalls). But there's not much from there to Valemount. Beyond V, you'll be in the Rocky Mtn Trench which can be pretty in fine weather.
Or from Kamloops you could head W to Cache Creek and N on #97, thru The Cariboo. Possible backroad route is W of Clinton, thru Jesmond, maybe thru the Gang Ranch and N to Riske Creek. Can see a different side of BC. Further up and N of Quesnel is Barkerville - if that is of interest.
Now, tell me that you're not going to miss the Icefields Parkway ...
Done it or driving on the way back ?
