Where to stay - Canmore to Pacific Shores?

[itchyfeet Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close itchyfeet]

We'll be in Canmore for a week with two days travel time to Pacific Shores. Any ideas where to stay on the way? We've already seen Vancouver so will skip it this trip. It will be Labor Day weekend - we check in on Sunday at PS. We'll make ferry reservations for Sunday afternoon. Other than that, we don't have a schedule. TIA

Salmon Arm is a nice little town right on the Shuswap Lakes. It's beautiful country but not lots to do, but a pretty good selection of hotel/motels, about the best along that stretch.

Or, if you want to take a bit of a detour, you could drive down to Kelowna, do a bit of wine touring, then come back to Merritt on the connector route and straight down the Coquihalla highway to Hope and through to the ferry. That would be my first idea if you have any time to spare and want to do any sightseeing.
