Boya Lake Provincial Park – British Columbia
After leaving the Yukon we headed south on the Cassiar Highway and stopped at beautiful Boya Lake. Again, one of our favorite spots! A beautiful campground and during the summer it is light so long that is is hard to even think about going to sleep. The beauty, solitude, and

What can you say about this, it’s Denali! Beautiful scenery and wildlife. The campground is one of many but it is the main one near the entrance of the park. Don’t plan on just driving up and getting a site (although you may be lucky). Reservations certainly help and even

We encountered quite a bit of rain after leaving Sunset Bay so we decided to head indoors and discovered the wonderful Umpqua Discovery Center in Reedsport, Oregon. We ended spending almost the entire day there. No one else was there so we had the place to ourselves and just took
