Christina Lake to Osoyoos, BC

The countryside along the southern border of Canada is beautiful - - sweeping views of green valleys, high mountains, pretty little farms and rushing rivers - - but the road (still hwy 3) is not the best - - very steep hills and curves, punctuated by more runaway truck ramps than I’ve ever seen and endless expansion cracks and grooved surfaces that makes the ride bumpy and uncomfortable. The final descent into Osoyoos was awesome - - extremely steep hairpin curves (speed of 20 k/hr whatever that is in m/hr!) with amazing views to the lakes below and ranges of huge mountains to the west with a beautiful sunset over everything. The road descends 650 m in 18 km in a series of serious switchbacks. I can't imagine driving it in the winter!
