Our first stop was 3 1/2 hours water rafting on the Thompson River, 40 km, motor powered raft so no paddling for us. The owner Dave talked me into going as he has only had 3 people go overboard in 30 years. It was great fun. Highest rapid was 18ft. It was the “jaws of death” rapid, the highest Dave had this season, glad I was aboard not! The river was freezing, but a welcomed relief considering the air temp.
Thompson River.....Canada Pacific trains all run alongside the river and are up to 3 km long.
These rapids at Hells Gate are a little further down stream, and worse and you can take a cable car over them.
We camped under the stars in Skihist Provincial Park in shorts and t shirt it was so hot. We have a tent and camp plot to ourselves.
Leah slept in a hamock. We couldn’t believe it. But we saw very little creepy crawlies, and she wasn’t worried about squirrels or chipmuncks. Tough as nails this girl.
