Did a grocery run before heading out so we would have enough food while we hung out by Mt. Robson. Finding food is proving to be a bit challenging. Pretty straight shot to the intersection with Hwy 5 which we will take when we head south. The sky is lookjbg quite ominous, especially in the direction we are headed. After much deliberation, opt to stay at a lively campground by the river. Skies clear. Czytaj więcej

8 sierpnia 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Managed to not get eaten by bears or kicked out of the rest area. Did pack up early and hit the road before 9. A long and hilly day awaited us to make it to our first town (and grocery store) since Prince George. Gradients weren’t too bad as we rolled towards the Rockies. Had lunch by one of the many rivers that crossed our path. A last long downhill and we were in McBride. Shared a pint of ice and then found our campground. Czytaj więcej

7 sierpnia 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Left the lovely lakeside campsite (with pit toilets that were actually flush) and continued eastward into the mountains. No services or houses, just trees, creeks and mountains. Stopped at an
Ancient Forest - huge trees including one called Treebeard. Another few miles and we were at an elaborate rest area - decided to stealth camp. Czytaj więcej

Left our comfy hotel and headed out through Prince George. It still seems fun down even though it is busier than yesterday. Cross the wide Fraser river and back up on to the plateau. Ride a nice quiet side road for a bit and then back to Hwy 16. While we are headed towards Jasper and the fires we will turn south before it. The road is eerily quiet as it is still closed up ahead and thus less traffic in either direction. Stop for the night at Purden Lake PP and enjoy the quiet. Czytaj więcej

Lazy morning watching Olympics. Venture out into town but it’s very closed up - due to holiday. Walk alongside the river and cottonwood trees. Not much else to do - return to hotel making dinner in the handy kitchen. Czytaj więcej

Left our basic campground and continued along the high highway that was a bit busier. Got a brief glance of the Clukuculz Lake and then a brief lunch spot by a river. A final hill and we are in Prince George. Find our hotel, get clean and out for another stop on our beer trail. Czytaj więcej

3 sierpnia 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Very blue sky as we head out of town. Roads are relatively quiet - perhaps logging trucks have the weekend off. Road improves a bit as well and make good time to Vanderhoof. We Stop for lunch and on the way out discover I have a flat tire. First in 13 months. And it was a 2.5 inch nail that did it. Relatively quick change and we are off. Find our way to Brookside ‘resort’. Not much there but we are offered free camping. Take it! Czytaj więcej

2 sierpnia 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Continuing through the Lake District, pass through small town of Topley. Continue along the Buckley river. Although we pass through ‘wildlife corridors’ - no wildlife to be seen. Snow covered peaks are behind us now and green forests prevail. Warmth has definitely returned and arrive in the town of Fraser Lake quite toasty. Opt to stay at municipal site by the lake as opposed to pressing on to the provincial park. Nice lake side view. Another quick dip in the quite chilly water. Czytaj więcej

As promised, the sun is shining and summer has returned. A nice ride with one big hill (don’t quite know what the 6 mile name refers to). Road fairly busy with logging trucks and RVs. Arrive at free municipal campsite in Burns Lake. Mange to get mostly in before doing laundry and getting groceries. Czytaj więcej

Early morning rain makes for a very delayed start. Eventually sun peaks through and we are able to dry out the tent. Ride along the Buckley river heading south. Even have a bike path for a bit. Clouds occasionally open up on us. Fortunately find a little rec site for lunch before going up the big climb of the day - ‘hungry hill’. Get hit with a headwind on the way down but make it to Houston. Get food and head to Shady Rest RV. Czytaj więcej

Day off bikes to explore around Smithers. Thick cloud cover but no rain in the forecast. Hike up Joe’s trail - a wide trail that went to the base of the skyline chairlift. Nice wildflowers and huckleberries along the way. Back in town try Smithers Brewery. Pick wild raspberries with our campground and have a mostly foraged crisp for dessert. Czytaj więcej

28 lipca 2024, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
With threatening skies, get an early start to try and get ahead of the rain. Misting ensues but nothing much as we arrive in Hazelton in time for their farmers market. Opt to continue onward even though we are offered a place to stay by a nice woman in front of the grocery store. Though we pass through moose country none are to be found. Rain catches us but make it to Witset and very nice campground! Czytaj więcej

Day clouds up quickly but a smooth road and tail wind keeps us moving quickly. Wide shoulder continues as we gradually gain some elevation as we ride still along the Skeena. Divert north towards Alaska to get food and stay at free municipal campground in Kitwanga. As weather is a bit threatening, we opt to pitch our tent under the shelter. Only wildlife is a assertive squirrel who is after our food! Czytaj więcej

Cloudy morning but not too chilly. Continue our journey along hwy 16. First must summit Rainbow Pass @ 525 ft 🤣🤣. Nice long down to Skeena river. Followed along it for the rest of the day enjoying an incredibly flat stretch. Bald eagles chattered around us and fish flung themselves through the air for no apparent reason. Day remained rather cloudy. Checked into Kasika lodge and campground. Czytaj więcej

A very early wake-up in order to get to the ferry terminal by 5:30. Ride the quiet streets and estuary path as the sky begins to brighten. Board the ferry and grab window seats. Spend the next 16 hours searching for whales (only saw spouts and a distant tail) and generally watching it all go by. Channel was amazingly narrow for much of the time. Arrived very late to Prince Rupert and checked into campground. Czytaj więcej

Get a late start for our short day to Port Hardy. It’s one of those weather days when the jacket is going on and off as the rain starts and stops. Decide to check out the ferry terminal first so we would know what to expect the next morning. Get to town, grab some lunch and sit (shivering) in park until hostel opens. Check in to our cozy room with a full kitchen. Nice steak dinner. Czytaj więcej

Do see a few sea creature on the way but no whales. Walk the island, enjoying the First Nations culture and ocean views. Many cool totem poles and cemeteries. Tad bit chilly as summer has seemed to have departed momentarily. Czytaj więcej

Make our way to Port McNeill and push up to nice campground - with much needed showers. Walk back to town and have very good pizza and beer at local brewery. Czytaj więcej

Leave busy Campbell River behind and head into the forested land in the north. Pass the site where they blew up “ridge rocks” as they were causing many shipwrecks. Biggest non-nuclear explosion of its time. Continue up and over a few climbs on the wide-shouldered island highway. There are numerous logging trucks but not too bad. Find Elk Creek Rec Site - a free campground hosted by BC Parks. Cool off in the lovely creek. Czytaj więcej

Very short day, but great riding on the ‘Seawalk’ coming into Campbell River. Head straight for Elk Falls PP and find many sites open. Opt to stay 2 nights to allow time to explore. Head back to town and ride along the spit. Make a few grocery stops before heading back to campground and then to the river. Nice temp though a bit shallow. Eat the salmon that had been given to us in exchange for a bit of olive oil. Czytaj więcej
