Explore the journey — one trail, museum, meal, and memory at a time.
Chetwynd, BC
A long drive through northern British Columbia turned into an unexpectedly interesting day of frozen lakes, roadside conversations, drifting logs, small-town cafés, and hours exploring the massive chainsaw carvings of Chetwynd. What started as a simple drive north toward Dawson Creek and Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway became one of those travel days where the unplanned stops became the story.
Quesnel, BC
After a long drive north through British Columbia, I arrived in Quesnel expecting a quiet river town and instead found something far more complicated. River trails, old industrial bridges, homeless camps, a Sikh temple rebuilt by the community, silent downtown streets, and strange moments that made me stop and think about where small towns may be headed in a rapidly changing world.
Whistler to Cache Creek
What was supposed to be a simple driving day through British Columbia became a constantly changing mix of mountain weather, fog, rain, and brief moments of incredible light. Plans for Garibaldi Lake fell apart after discovering the hike was far more serious than expected, and the rest of the day became a slow drive north along the Cariboo Highway toward Cache Creek.
