#Project365: Boston Bar to Hixon

Heading north from Boston Bar, I drove into quite a long, rocky canyon that the Fraser and Thompson Rivers have carved out. McCleese Lake turned out to be a nice rest stop:

Hixon is a small town not too far south of Prince George along the Cariboo Highway. My campground was the Canyon Creek Campground and had lots of beautiful flowers, trails, and apparently a resident black bear!

#Project365: Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park

After leaving Leon's, I was on for a wild ride. The route to Vernon from Edgewood is pretty remote with narrow sections (including a single lane bridge or two) and some hairpin curves and switchbacks. What the route doesn't have with regard to a fast trip it more than makes up for with scenery. Right across from Keefer Lake Resort is Lost Lake Rest Area where I took these two photos:

I finally made it to my next destination before lunchtime; Chilliwack. This time I was meeting another friend who wanted to see Chilliwack Lake. It was quite a drive up the mountain; but just like earlier in the morning, I was rewarded with quite an experience and awesome views.

I sat on the log in the bottom photo while eating my lunch and enjoying the spectacular view. For more info about this park, visit: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/chilliwack_lk/.

After visiting, I made my way north to my campground at Boston Bar for the night.
