More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull onto the Trans‑Canada Highway and the mountains close ranks: cedar slopes, glinting river corridors and blue pockets of Shuswap Lake rushing past the passenger window. The app speaks up as the car flows through Eagle Pass and Larch Hills, cueing stories about the Last Spike, Death Rapids and the railway engineers who shaped this corridor. The narration maps places to stop while the road keeps moving.
