That’s an amazing part of the world: that would have been a great trip!
The drive along the Fraser Canyon is breathtaking: pretty dangerous tho’ (or at least it was when I last drove it decades ago) because it was narrow and winding, with sheer drop-offs if you get the turn wrong...
Sadly, these days most people traveling to Kamloops and beyond take the Coquihalla Hiway, constructed in the mid-eighties. It’s fast and straight and sacrifices scenery for safety and speed.
(This thread has made me a bit homesick...!)
You’ll get back there.
NZ ain’t nothin to sneeze about either!
Funny thing was I grew up in NY and had dreams about the mountains.
Left New York, me and a buddy hitched out to Washington.
About a year later, me and a lady friend went east on I-90 into the cascades, the first time I ever saw that part.
It matched my dream.
Exactly.
I could even drive you to the same point now.
Kinda sad that life is such a tease!
(and so was she)
