Now on the Yellowhead

We left Hazelton after a night in Ksan. It was drizzling and overcast and demonstrated how lucky we have been with the weather for our whole trip. Nothing is as much fun in the rain. 
I looked at our 2014 pictures and you can see for yourself!

Today - mountains? What mountains?

June 2014

We left the Stewart-Cassiar highway at Kitwanga and joined the Yellowhead highway. It felt like we were leaving the wilderness behind. The Yellowhead has passing lanes, shoulders and towns with Subway,  KFC and A&W. It cuts across BC from Prince Rupert to Jasper. 

The trip was still beautiful following the Skeena River to its confluence with the Bulkley at Ksan. Both huge, mighty rivers. Bulkley Valley alternates boreal forest and rolling farmland with logging active in the background if the passing trucks and land sorts are any indication.
