Finally, after weeks of hand wringing (Bob was certain we were going to get completely torn apart by the border guards and would need to spend hours repacking), I drove into the gate. The handsome young guard asked how long we planned to spend in Canada, and wished us a safe and pleasant stay. Our border crossing was accomplished in under 1 minute! So much for Bob's analyzing and agonizing.
Heading north on Canada 1, our first stop was at the Hell's Gate Air tram over the Fraser River. It's been many years since we last visited, and this year we chose to hike down to the suspension bridge - quite a hike!
Bob found a great big chair and I couldn't resist this picture.
Although they have rafting trips down this portion of the river, it will be several weeks before it is safe to begin. It might even be sometime in August. Driving through the mountains, water was streaming down everywhere. There were so many waterfalls we didn't even get a count.
Arriving at a rest stop about 17 miles south of Quesnel, we found a tulip garden in front of the restrooms and decided it was a good place to call it a day.

A one minute border crossing. You guys must really look dangerous. What a great start to your journey north.
