After we finished exploring some of the land around Cody and safely evading the bears who had just left there bear scat nearby we turned back down the dirt road and onto the highway towards Kaslo. Just a few short km’s down we saw the remains of the Ghost Town Retallack but did not stop as we had Ainsworth Hotsprings as our goal. It will be a must stop next time through the Kootenays!

and shortly after Retallack we enjoyed another close up of one of the Kootenay’s many Mule Deer.
