A beautiful sunrise with orange and red highlights greeted us Saturday morning when we woke up at the Desous campground. We made coffee and breakfast and got packed up. Before departing, we ventured out to explore the surrounding mountain bike trails.
We got back on the road and continued south on route 97 toward Cache Creek. Just before approaching Cache Creek, we veered west onto route 99 to explore the more mountainous route to Vancouver. The road twisted, curved, and wound all around through several mountain passes, and the views were spectacular.
We passed through Whistler and Squamish and as we neared Vancouver, the highway hugged the coastline, revealing views of Howe Sound.
The sprawling city of Vancouver is quite a contrast to the rural and rugged parts of northern British Columbia. After several nights camping, we treated ourselves to an AirBnB in North Vancouver for a night and explored the city! We walked to Pawan’s Kitchen for a late dinner and enjoyed the fast-paced hustle and bustle of a big city. After a longer day on the road, it was nice to relax and enjoy the amenities of an AirBnB. Tomorrow we cross the border into Washington and visit Olympic National Park!
