We crossed at Sumas and drove to Hope where we spent our first night at Wild Rose campground. It's a lovely little town with gorgeous wood carvings along the road and even a Japanese garden. There's a bank in town and we got $300 in exchange which lasted our whole trip. We wanted cash because we stayed in Provincial and Yukon public parks and most had a drop box for camp fees. We stayed in Hope that first night to regroup, do some grocery shopping, etc.
From Hope we then headed north on 97.
