It was time for a road trip so we decided to do a trip, starting at Grande Cache (we had never been there before).
Caro drove to Edson where we gassed up. After a further stop in Hinton I took over driving.
We had a very nice 4 hour drive and were looking forward to doing some hiking in the area. About ten minutes before arriving in Grande Cache (somewhere around 3:30 PM) the clouds opened up and a major rain storm hit.
We went first to the wonderful (highly recommended) tourist information centre. It had some great information of the area as well as some wonderful exhibits of taxidermy. I particularly loved this painting.
Because of the rain we checked into our hotel; waited an hour for the rain to stop, then headed a short ways out of town to the top attraction in the area called Sulphur Gates. This viewpoint is located high above the joining of two rivers. It really is beautiful
Supper was at a recommended Chinese food restaurant. Yummy!
Due to rain showers all around town we decided to stay in our room for the evening.
