Once you enter in the spectacular landscapes along the Sea to Sky Highway you can feel the massive energy of the land.  The natural wonders that start from the ocean through the Coast Mountains, including the past volcanoes, quiet glaciers and lakes, vivid valleys and coastal rainforests  reminded me this weekend how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful province. For the lover of wilderness, this is one of the best places to live: a unique land, where the ocean meets the majesty of the mountains.

The area around Whistler is already known as one of the most spectacular sceneries in the world:

Nairn Falls is home to some very special wildlife.  We walked on a trail of 1,5 km to see this refreshing beauty, the dramatic result of the erosive power of water:

The next stop was in Pemberton, where we had our lunch. Here it starts the adventure of the wilderness.

The Lower Joffre Lake is a magnificent area where everything is so quiet; it’s another world, a natural land of icefields, where you just admire the turquoise-blue of the water and the glacier-laden peaks:

The spectacular begins; you are so close by the mountains… closer then you can ever imagine, and nobody’s around; you just go further, but you don’t know where you go; it’s like you are at the border of the world:

We stayed overnight in Lillooet, one of the oldest communities in British Columbia. It looks like a real wild west village, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Coast Mountain Range and Fraser Canyon.

In the next day, we had our breakfast to the Historic Hat Creek Ranch, a place that recalls the 1860s Gold Rush and Native History:

Lytton is another unique place situated where the Thompson River meets the Fraser River; and yes, you can clearly see how the 2 colors came together:

We had a few more stops on the way to Vancouver. We continued to explore the Fraser Canyon, another incredible part of the Beautiful British Columbia.
