Marble Canyon Campground – Kootenay National Park – review

November 25, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Here’s an interesting tidbit. Kootenay National Park was a bribe. It’s true. A century ago, a deal was in place for the federal government to build a road from Banff to the Alberta/BC border at Vermilion Pass. The BC provincial government would build a road from Windermere to the pass thereby opening up the region […]

Robson Meadows Campground – Mount Robson Provincial Park – review

January 16, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Some campgrounds are just not meant for spending a lot of time in, and Robson Meadows Campground at Mount Robson Provincial Park is one such campground.  This is not to say Robson Meadows is a terrible campground.  It’s a fine, serviceable campground by most standards.  It’s just that this isn’t a place you go to […]
