Driving the International Selkirk Loop is spectacular experience. The weather was ideal, mid 60's, sunshine and a light breeze to stir the golden quaking aspen.
North America's only multi-country scenic loop; designated one of the top ten secenic destinations in the Northern Rockies, the 280 mile international scenic byway winds around the base of the Selkirk Mountains through Idaho and Washington in the United States and British Columbia, Canada. The fall foliage was incredible.
A walk along the River Trail in Kaslo, British Columbia offers breath-taking photo opportunities and inter-action with wildlife and water fowl.
The section of road between Nelson, British Columbia and Ainsworth Hot Springs is one jaw-dropping vista after another.
Kootenay Lake is the largest natural lake in the Kootenay Rockies region and is the third largest lake in British Columbia. Steep, ghostly forested slopes flank the ninety mile long lake that many people call th "Norweigian Fjords of North America".
Famous for its fall foliage, the Selkirk Loop offered a vivid display.
The last rose of summer. Magnificent in their color and delicacy, roses graced cottage gardens and roadside ditches, their sweet fragrance heavy in the morning air.
I always wish our trip was longer. If you travel the loop, allow several days to fully explore and experience this awesome area.
The Selkirk Mountains are the last place in the Lower forty-eight states where Woodland Caribou still live.
