A few years back we took a trip west. We decided on Wed night to go either back home (Yorkshire) or west. Flights made the decision west. We had such a good time 2 weeks easily turned into 6. We had no itinerary, just decided which way to go at the next intersection (truth).
If you've a chance the "bad lands" are a must. It reminded us of old western movies and you could easily put yourself back in time. Excellent photo ops.
One day we left our campsite in the mountains and when in town it was 30C. As we returned to our CG we were surprised by a beautiful site for the end of July...6" of snow. I made a snowman in flip flops and shorts.
We loved Port Hardy. Excellent place for seafood and pics of Eagles. We actually had over 200lbs of crab and halibut sent home. We chose live crab and fresh halibut. They fast froze it. This was around 4 in the afternoon. Before 9 the next morning it was delivered and in our friends freezer in southern Ontario. It was from Hardy Boys. If you have a chance try what they call "Indian Candy". My hubby is addicted, we still have it shipped. It is smoked salmon with a "special coating".
We could tell you wonderful places to see but sometimes knowing too much can spoil the trip. We prefer not to know what is around the next corner. You will have a great trip. We can't wait to see your photos.
