Day 5 started off pretty leisurely. We slept in a bit later than normal, had a big breakfast, and were on the road by 8:15ish. We posed for a picture with the sign out front of the Hillcrest Hotel. Will threw on the rangers jersey for the first game of the series - flyers are done.

Today's biggest feat was climbing up Rogers Pass. It was a steady grind, but singing in between gasps for air made it go by quickly. Here's a link to our favourite jam for going uphill:

After Roger's Pass it was mainly downhill to Golden. Along the way we encountered many dark snow tunnels which we had to walk through to avoid becoming a hood ornament. We also passed through our first time zone change today. Lost an hour of our day. Not ideal.
We arrived at a campsite at the far side of Golden. Mom had to fend off a few sheep to find a spot for our RV but they didn't seem too offended.
Now we're nestled into the Rocky Mountains. It'll make for some big climbs tomorrow, but we'll be through our first province by tomorrow afternoon.
