Summer Adventure 2018 Days 65 & 66

We left Stewart behind and were on our way to Telkwa and saw a mama bear with her two cubs and another bear along the way. The drive was another beautiful one.

The first stop of the day was at the Smithers Visitor Centre where Bill got information on things for us to do. A tour of the Bulkley Valley Museum was a quick stop, but we learned the inventor of the egg carton, Joseph Coyle, was a newspaper editor want to settle an ongoing dispute between a local farmer and hotel manager over the farmer's eggs often being broken.

A stroll along Main Street was like being in an Alpine village with the gorgeous mountains for a backdrop. The town is refreshingly charming, clean and beautifully landscaped. The shopkeepers were very friendly.

At Driftwood Canyon a short walk led us to a fossil bed. We didn't stay long in the woods with the mosquitoes. After lunch we found another canyon view from high above the river, then moved on to Moricetown Canyon and ended our exploration with a hike at Twin Falls.

The twin fall was not full flowing as this one.
