In August, for example, I blogged about a short trip we took across southern British Columbia, down into Idaho, and back through central Washington State. In the entry for one day we travelled from Grand Forks, BC to Sandpoint, ID. If you click on the link above, you will be able to see three photos. The middle one was taken near the summit of Kootenay Pass.
Through the magic of Google Street View, you can also take a closer look at the section of BC Highway 3 as well. If you click on the image below, you will enter Street View. Be sure to mouse around the image to see both directions and even travel along the road a bit if you'd like.
You may also take a look of the area right at the moment.
This would have been science fiction when I was growing up. The idea of being able to instantly see an image from a remote section of BC Highway from nearly anywhere on earth would have been unbelievable. I'm typing this on December 1st, and it is presently snowing at the pass. This is a BC Highway cam found here. You may also read about the this pass on Wikipedia.
