North to Alaska

Our drive from Dease Lake to Whitehorse was a great day for spotting animals. We detoured to Bear glacier, and were really glad we did! It was very spectacular.

This is a real bear

Onwards and Upwards: Historic Hazelton

 The next stop along our way was Prince Rupert. We didn't do much there, other than buy food and sleep in a pretty gross camp ground. Seriously... I had to move dog poo out of or camp site. And most of the other tent sites were so waterlogged that the water would squish up over your shoes as you walked! So, I don't think it needs a blog of its own!

 We pulled in to Old Hazelton the next night, to stay at the native run K'san camp ground. This one was much nicer than the camp grounds in Prince Rupert!

A cheat day

We both quickly started questioning our wisdom at choosing to camp all summer, when neither of us are even remotely excited by camping holidays. So, neither of us complained when we started looking at staying in a little cabin for a night. Then I upped it to two nights. Haha! 

Wells Gray Provincial Park

Helmcken Falls from the view point

So, I saw this awesome photo of a waterfall on Pinterest the night before we were to leave Pemberton. And so we made this whole detour back East to get to Wells Gray park.

A "Spring" walk in Joffre Lakes

We headed off at a reasonable time, for our first stop, Joffre Lakes. We knew there was a change there would be some snow there, but we didn't expect so much. As we got out of the car, it started snowing, and I put on some thermals.

Squamish to Pemberton

We accidently overslept again on the next morning, and had to skip our planned breakfast of pancakes for Nutella on bread instead. Rather disappointing. It’s not surprising when you know that a large group of “youths” moved in to the campsite right across from us the night before, and sounded like about 100 people until some ungodly hour.

Shannon Falls Hike

We arrived back on the mainland again, after a nice nap in the car on the Ferry. This time we landed at Horseshoe Bay, north of Vancouver. We were pretty tired from a fairly late night, so we just bought some groceries and went to our campground for the night.
