I expect that many people camp at Nairn Falls Provincial Park while they’re using the vast network of mountain biking trails around Pemberton. For me, the hike to Nairn Falls was the draw. The sign to the right at the start of the trail says: “Nairn Fall, 1.5 Km....

Princess Louisa Inlet had been calling to me since 1965 when I got invited to the Malibu Club Lodge there. The cliffs at the head of it are so dramatic that it can be easily identified when passing over even at 35,000 feet. On Day 42 of the trip,...

After Cathy flew back home, I had 2 days to spend on Vancouver Island before taking the ferry to Powell River. After some thought over my morning coffees on Day 34 of the trip (May 29th) I decided to move to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park for that night....

We arrived at Campbell River in the late afternoon of Day 20 (May 15) and set up camp at the Thunderbird RV Park on Tyee Spit. We then had one full day and the morning of Day 22 to explore the Campbell River area. The summary is that we...

The Labour Day long weekend is the final outdoor weekend for many Yukoners, and we decided to take advantage of the best weather forecast in the region for a return to the Haines Highway. I’d been there a month ago without Cathy, but had pretty dismal weather, so was...

It’s only 74 km (46 mi) from Whistlers Campground in Jasper to the Hinton-Jasper KOA Campground, so we had almost another full day to explore around Jasper on Day 42 of the trip – Saturday, June 4th. We wanted another shot at a good experience at Mount Edith Cavell,...

After a couple of days camped at the Cottonwood Meadows RV Park at Chilliwack and visiting long-time friends in the area, Day 17, Tuesday, May 10th, was the next exploring day. I had 2 nights, 3 days to drive the 358 km to Bear Creek Provincial Park in West...

When Day 14 began (Saturday, May 7th), I knew that my hopes for the day on the lower Thompson River and in the Fraser Canyon as written in my notebook were overly-ambitious. I’d have to high-grade the possibilities as the day went on. At 191 km (119 mi), the...

So far on the trip, I’ve been very lucky with the weather. The only 2 days that were really not pleasant were the day of snow at Summit Lake, and a few hours of rain at Bella Coola. Day 13, though – Friday, May 6th – would take us...

I needed to go to Skagway to deal with a couple of things, and yesterday provided a tiny break between a couple of storm systems that have been and will be dumping a fair bit of snow there and in the White Pass. I was away from the house...
