Thursday, July 8th we had a long, 600 mile, 10 hour drive from Whitehorse in the Yukon to Fort Nelson in British Columbia. It was a picturesque ride but the best part was all the animals we saw.
It was like a safari! We saw rabbits, a grizzly, two black bears, moose and baby moose, and deer. We also saw a big bison just walking down the shoulder of the road. We drove up next to it and I took a picture. He looked in the window and just kept walking. About 15 miles on there was a field with a herd of about 30 bison with lots of calves.


We also saw a lot of mountain sheep by the road. It was an extraordinary day. Toward the end of the day we came upon the Canadian Rockies.

Today, the 9th was another long drive to Prince George. Tomorrow we will be in Jasper.
