Rockies Day 4

The weather had changed completely the next day. There was plenty of sunshine and we started towards Vancouver. We stopped at an important place along Trans Canada Highway. BTW, The Trans-Canada Highway is a transcontinental highway system that travels through all ten provinces of Canada from the Pacific Ocean on the west to the Atlantic on the east. It covers the entire span of Canada and is around 7800 KM

Canada Pacific Railway , similar to Trans Canada Highway is transcontinental highway but no longer reaches the Atlantic coast. Its majorly a freight railway and there are some places where you can see Canada Pacific Railway next to Trans Canada highway. One such place is Craigellachie where last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was hammered connecting the entire country with railway line. It remains a symbol of national unity in Canada. There is a plaque and monument commemorating this moment.

For lunch we again stopped at Kamloops and with another pit stop somewhere near Hope, we reached Vancouver in the evening.

I had booked stay at Samesun vancouver . I didn have interest to go out and search for good restaurants, so cooked food in the community kitchen.
