Squamish, Whistler and Nairn Falls

Picked up our van today after a thorough briefing from the lovely Angie. Managed to stay on the right side of the road with continued encouragement from Annie. Rode the Sea to Sky gondola at Squamish before heading to our camp site for 2 nights at Nairn Falls Provincial Park. Great campsite and the falls are spectacular with the river swollen from snow melt.










The next day was spent at the alpine resort town of Whistler. Lots of mountain bikers utilising the ski slopes and lifts. Nice walk following ex olympic cross country ski routes to Lost Lake.

Wet gem

There is only one road into Prince Rupert, effectively, a 238km dead end off the Cassiar Highway. Most visitors arrive by ferry or cruise ship. The Ruby Princess was docked a few days ago - spreading goodwill. Prince Rupert has the highest rainfall in Canada with an average of 2594mm raining on 235 days per year. Very green, very wet and lots of mozzies.  Logging and fishing are the main industries here with tourism starting to grow. Nice area around the dock with the best cafe yet.
