riding the cassiar


GeoTagged, [N57.98407, E130.07808]

motorcycling of the finest order!
the scenery is so beautiful and the road goes right through it!
steeply sloped mountains capped by ice and snow fields or cut up by glaciers.
along the road beaver ponds alternating with meadows and lakes. then for miles a curtain of spruce on either side. the highway gently curving and snaking up and down through the terrain.
the traffic is hardly mentionable. we counted literally almost more bears than cars. every dozen of miles we would see black bears on the shoulder and once there was a grizzly.
at 5 we called it quits and set camp above a lake. no one around but us and a few moose (I guess). the lake water smooth as glass, the air quiet except for the chattering complaint of a raven.
