Day 26 - Elk Valley Provincial park

Elk Valley Provincial Park is by far my favourite place in the area.  (So far)

Emily's mom is in town so we all made the trip.  The park is 70km North of Elkford up a gravel road parallel to the Elk River and right next to the Alberta border.  The views on the drive are stunning, lots of camping areas and an abundance of Grizzly Bears.  We even ran into a pack of wild horses on the road.  They hesitated to let us by and their leader tried to attack the truck, but we made it through safely :).

Halfway through the trip we stopped for a picnic at Weary Creek.



Eventually we made it up to the park where we walked into Lower Elk Lake.  The lake is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls and glaciers and is the starting point of the Elk River. 





On the way back we stopped to look for Vinnie and take some artsy flower pictures.



Can't wait to go back!
