Day 3: Disappointed with Cypress Hills; overpriced and gloomy, only the cinnamon bun at the food stand shone. Fine riding weather again, no rain so far. By mid-afternoon the Rocky Mountains are in sight, spirits are lifted but I find I can only do about 90 minutes before needing a rest. A tankful of fuel lasts two riding sessions at about 65 mpg at 65 mph.
Finally out of the Prairies, towards the Crowsnest Pass. The Frank Slide shows how mountains can come down but I push on into British Columbia; heading for a Recreation and Trail Site. Free camping at Hartley Lake, in the hills above Fernie.
