Tyhee Provincial Park is beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone. It was a cool night though. In the am it was 10' C in the tent and 6'C outside when we woke up. It had flush toilets and oh so hot showers to make up for it. The scenery was spectacular blue skies and snow on the surrounding mountain tops. We were on the road by 8:40 - a little later this morning - the sun came up later and it was harder to get out of those relatively warm sleeping bags.
We gassed up in Smithers @ $1.149. Smithers reminds me of Canmore but not as crowded or busy. It certainly has an alpine look to it and the mountains are right in your back yard and follow on your left as you drive west.
We turned north at Hwy 37 the Cassier Hwy. (I will post more pics later but strapped for time today using the Internet in the parking lot of the Whitehorse library.) We had quite the adventure up the Cassier. It is one of those roads you wouldn't want to miss but you probably wouldn't drive it again. We gassed up again at Bell II along the Hwy - gas now $1.319. We saw two bears along the road one at mile 33 and the second at mile 163 - better there than at our campgrounds.
Continued north to Dease Lake - further than we thought we would get. Gassed up again @ $1.339 and bought some groceries and chicken for our supper. Went a bit further to Dease River - Campground and rented a cabin for $50. as the weather had been raining and didn't look promising. We stayed the night and in the morning it was 14'C inside the cabin and 5'C outside, but we were dry.
