Coquhalla Hwy to Kamloops

Early August we were heading north up the Coquhalla Highway to Kamloops on our way to Brian and Marilyn's in Vernon. This is the first time we have taken 'Dutchess' towing 'Granny' up this highway due to the steep grades but after our trip across Canada and around the United States, thought that we had not traveled anything quite as long and steep. 'Dutchess' handled the climb very well and the scenery is spectacular to say the least. Although it is the middle of summer you can still get snow falling here on the highway. Ahead you can see were avalanches have smoothed the side of the mountain.
One of several snow sheds that we passed through and you can see on the windshield that we have light rain.
