May 26, 2016 Travel day to Iskut, BC

Thursday May 26, 2016 Travel day to Iskut, BC

We are just traveling 195 miles today.  This is just an overnight stop before we get to Watson Lake.  It rained on and off most of the day but we had no plans for any sightseeing so it can rain all it likes.  We did see a momma bear and her 2 cubs on a hillside and a pretty big one all by himself but that was all of the wildlife for today.  When we started out the roads were good until we were about 50 miles from Iskut.  Then the bumpy ride started but it wasn’t too bad.  You just had to slow down and watch for gravel patches and holes.  Most of the time there were little red signs that stated to go slow.  If I had to rate the road on a scale from 1-5 I would rate the end of this trip today as a 3 and the beginning a 5. We arrived at Mountain Shadow Campground just a little after 1. When we arrived there wasn’t another camper in the park of 32 sites.  There was no phone service here but they did have internet. They were all pretty level and nicely maintained.  You can walk down to the lake and have the mountains as a backdrop.  If the weather clears I will venture down there and see what I can find.


Never cleared up for me to venture out and check out the lake.

One last look at Bear Glacier after leaving Stewart, BC

This stop was for fuel after getting back on hwy 37 heading to Iskut

Our road sometimes became hard packed gravel
