Agree! Also, the drive between Kelowna and Banff is beautiful; probably the prettiest "regular highway" drive there is. I note mcveed is from Kelowna; that is another great place to visit and do some wine tasting as well. It's a beautiful part of Canada.

It is indeed. I was out walking in the hills just east of my home this afternoon and as I looked out over the city I marvelled at what a beautiful valley I had decided to settle in. And I'm only three hours drive from Revelstoke Mountain National Park, which I think is just the most beautiful place in the world.

You do live in a beautiful valley. I was surprised when I started reading about the Okanagan, often called the Napa Valley of Canada. I live less than an hour from the Napa Valley, and having now been to the Okanagan, the comparison is not unreasonable. Though we only drove through Revelstoke (and Glacier NP Canada), it is beautiful and we'd like to explore both of them.

If you're looking for a unique urban walk, the riverwalk along the bow river on the northern edge of the city is really nice (and recently redone). Lots of cool bridges and skyline shots.

My thanks to all you who have made suggestions. I will definitely be driving the Ice Fields Parkway. Several other things I'd like to do will probably involve more hiking than my knees will stand (a few miles is probably my limit) so I'll have to skip them. Maybe I can find a tour that will take me to some of those places without my having to hike too many miles.

Thanks again.
