Soon after the snack stop, one crosses into BC and into Kootenay National Park. The weather indeed improved and the roads were completely dry from this point on. And, even a bit of sun now and then! what heavy snowfall were these forecasters talking about, anyway?

The ride from the snack stop to lunch is quite nice. Almost all a gently sloping downhill on a road with very wide shoulders (but with occasional cracks that you need to watch out for!)

After the afternoon snack stop, it is just one really big hill to Sinclair pass before all of the effort of the day is over. From there, it is a very steep and exciting descent through a rocky canyon into Radium. One the way down this big descent, just before getting to Radium (the township), one reaches the Radium Hot Springs. The EVCC provides a shuttle bus from the campground to here and back for those weary cyclists who want to soak for a while.

Radium's park has a baseball diamond, and the GT has taken it over to provide camping accommodations to those who want it (if desired, GTers can stay in a local hotel instead, at their own expense). The baseball diamond is right next to the area where the dinner is served.
