The Ultimate North American Road Trips

 

Route 97 is the longest continuous north-south highway in the US. It takes you from northern California, through Oregon and Washington, to British Columbia in Canada. Along the way, you’ll see Mount Robson – the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. You’ll also pass by the Canadian Cascades, volcanoes that form an arc across North America. And in Osoyoos you’ll come across Canada’s only desert. With fertile valleys, wine regions with miles of rolling, vineyard-covered hills, vast freshwater lakes, grizzly and black bears, and a number of national parks – Route 97 makes for a pretty great road trip. Check into the highly rated Eagle Crater Lake Inn in Chemult.

 Well since you know that I continue to try to get you away from all the theme parks from time to time etc., etc.  And one more point—-vacations are suppose to be times to get away—-sometimes relaxing and taking morning walks on streets in quiet towns and eating at family friendly restaurants are activities most of us could use a little more of—-relaxing is one of those things so FEW of us ever really do.

The town as named in 1913 for its adjoining lake.  The lake in turn was named for Alfred Parslow, an early seettler who had acquired the original franchise for the railroad and built up an estate here.

 

  Previous names for the town included it’s first, Fargo after Fargo ND from whence a number of those interested in the Fruitland Company which directed this area.  This was discarded because of Postal confusion with Largo, Fl.  Next came Chubb (origin unknown) which was discarded for the obvious reason.  Bartow Junction was tried, but Bartow was only 15 miles away and people there were not happy about the choice.
