Harrison trip was canceled, so instead we decided to tour the central/west Kootenays
Left Kelowna Friday night, went through Vernon and took the Monashee pass (never do this after sunset).
Camped at McDonald Creek Provincial Park, 12 kms south of Nakusp on the shores of the Arrow Lake Reservoir.
Visited Halcyon Hot Springs (highly recommended) and then took the long way back home through the West Kootenays - New Denver, Silverton, stopped by the Sandon town site (ghost town) and Summit Lake
This is why I love BC so much

Slocan valley - New Denver, Sandon, Silverton, Slocan Village
Paddlewheeler station. Ore would be brought here by train then loaded onto paddlewheelers that transported it to smelters.
Roseberry Provincial Park, Wilson Creek - just south of Silverton
Lookout point along Hwy 6 between Silverton and Slocan Village. Slocan Lake & The Valhallas. New Denver Icefield can be seen to the left. Only accessible by boat. Maybe next year
