We spent the morning strolling along some of the trails at Lighthouse Park on the North side of the Burrard Inlet.The boys picked a bag full of salmon berries worthy of a bear's breakfast and then gorged themselves silly back in Bessie.
The 99 north, known as the Sea to Sky Parkway, was clearly upgraded prior to the winter olympics, but why, when they were spending so much money on the road, didn't they put in viewpoints that actually look at the view? It's crazy how many of the 'scenic' stops look at a set of power lines or a wall of trees. It's a bit of a shame, because the mountain scenery is divine.
We checked out the runs on Whistler Blackcomb from the road as we drove through and camped at Nairn Falls Provincial Park, on a cliffside overlooking a rushing river.
The mountains, forests and melt-fed lakes and rivers gave way to distinctively different scenery after Lillooet, with at first, steep barren gorges and then later, golden agricultural fields.
We pulled in to camp at Juniper Beach Provincial Park as a thunderstorm rolled through and fell asleep to the sound of crickets and the river behind us.
Kamloops afforded us a spot to fill up and get groceries in the morning and after a play at Sicamous, we found a campsite in Revelstoke, gateway to Mount Revelstoke National Park.
