Take a look at these mountains. The tops of some of them are higher than the clouds.
From Hope, we took the Fraser Canyon to Cache Creek. This is considered to be the dry forest region of British Columbia – apparently very hot in the summer. (Today was in the 60’s.)
In this canyon are the Fraser River, Canadian Route 1, and two railroad lines – the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific. The river was running VERY fast due to the snow melt and flooding in the north. The scenery was spectacular!!!
Two different views of the road…..
We stopped in Spences Bridge at the Log Cabin Pub for lunch -great place! It is a little town among the many mountains.
Further north, we followed the Thompson River. 
The canyon started to open into a valley with fruit farms. Many roadside stands but most were closed as we went by.We are staying at the historic Hat Creek Ranch (reasonable rates and only 8 sites).
This heritage site has a number of restored buildings from the early 1800’s as well as a Native Shuswap Village Interpretation Site. So after we set up, we took a nice stroll among the buildings. There was even a nice stagecoach…..
No campfires here – I really miss them…Miles Traveled: 148 miles
