Last time I was there they had outdoor movie night at the Devil's Tower campground. There was only one choice, same move every night. Any guesses?

A Bit of a Lesson in B.C. Mountains
I have a pet peeve when it comes to the mountains of British Columbia. When the international media are here to do a story and are back dropped by a mountain, they usually refer to it as the Rocky Mountains. (This error was especially prevalent during the 2010 Winter Olympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler).
Nothing could be further from the truth -- unless, of course, you are in the extreme eastern section of the province.
If one was travelling eastbound from the westcoast of B.C. to Alberta on the Trans-Canada Highway, you would encounter three main mountain ranges. The Coast Mountains are the lowest; most have trees right to the peak. The Coastal Range line the B.C. coast from Vancouver to Alaska. The mountains you see in Vancouver are part of that range, and extend inland approximately 200 miles.
The main range (before the Rockies) are the Selkirk Mountains. You can see a distinct treeline, as they are higher. This photo shows one of the mountains in the Selkirk Range. It was taken east of Revelstoke, B.C., during my 2013 trip to Alberta.
The mighty Rockies straddle the B.C. and Alberta border, and are the highest. Consequently, they are mostly granite with a very low treeline.
