You will have had a chance to visit Jasper, Banff, and Yoho National Parks so I would head south from Panorama. If you are allowed a short drive on a gravel road, spend a night at Premier lake park and do the easy hike around Yankee and Canuck lakes. Then head to Kimberley for a night and take in the Mining railway (not sure when it closes for the season so check first). Drop me an e-mail if you are stopping in Kimberley as I live there. If you have not been to Waterton National Park I would head there next for 2/3 nights. The Frank slide interpretive centre is a worthwhile stop along the way. Lots of good hiking and a boat ride down Waterton lake. Either head down to the USA and over to Glacier Park in the USA or head back to Cranbrook and then Yahk where there is a small provincial campground. Head to Creston then up Kootenay lake to Riondel for a night in their campground. Take the free ferry across the lake to Balfour then head to Kaslo for 1/2 nights. Visit the restored paddle wheeler then head West to New Denver for a night or two. There is an interesting restored internment camp in New Denver. Then head up to Nakusp and visit the hot springs. There are a couple of camping choices in Nakusp. Now head to the Ferry to Revelstoke (look up Galena Bay). Take in the Railway museum in Revelstoke. Head West on Hwy 1 though Kamloops then down the Fraser canyon (take in the Hell's Gate attraction) Stop in Hope and take in the old railway tunnels just up Hwy 3 from Hope. Now head down the Fraser valley to the end of your trip.
Enjoy your visit!
