Wildlife Everywhere

Today we drove from Fort Nelson, BC to the Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park near Liard, BC. Shortly after we left Fort Nelson we drove into the mountains. The views were incredible! As we drove we saw deer, caribou, moose, Stone sheep, wild horses and my favorite a black bear cub. All of these animals were hanging out by the road. I'm not sure why the road attracts them except maybe there are less bugs on the road. The Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park was everything and more than we expected. Big private campsites and a couple of fantastic Hot Spring pools. The pools were natural (not the cement ones you find at Jasper), one of the pools was about 3 feet deep with a gravel bottom and very clear. The temperature was around 106 degrees F. The other pool was 9 feet deep and around 106 degrees F as well.
