Fort Liard, Northwest Territories

From Yellowknife I headed southwest, towards British Colombia and a pleasant trip emerged which was not at all reflected in this series of relatively average photos. Apologies.

This picture is included cause I didn't take a picture of the bridge on the way up so I was determined to on the way back. 100% not a waste of time.

It was 36 celsius when I stood at this junction. Do you have any idea how insane that is, given how far north I was? Google Yellowknife, it's really bloody far north.

Far from everything as usual.

Fort Liard is up a side road, across a river with no bridge. The lovely family I was hitching with wanted to check it out, so we went.

Then we ran into the forest fires in British Colombia and everything looked like this.
