The last suspension bridge on the Alaska Highway:
Stone Sheep:

Part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Sentinel Range is on the left, Peterson Mountain is in the center, and Terminal Range (the end of the Rockies) is on the right:
POISONOUS! Elegant Camas, also called Death Camas:
Stone Sheep:

Summit Lake:
Four-parted Gentian:
Salmon and red Paintbrush:

The Alaska Highway is constantly being repaired and kicking up dust.
Because there was no other choice in Fort Nelson, we stayed in Westend Campground (also called Triple G Hideaway RV Park). We were really packed in, with tight spacing side to side and RVs backed up to each other. We're trying to forget this one, so no picture.
July 26th, we drove to Charlie Lake Provincial Park.
Fireweed lining the Alaska Highway:
Our site at Charlie Lake Provincial Park:

This type of clover has a wonderful, sweet fragrance.
POISONOUS! Baneberry plants will have white or red berries with black dots at the ends.
POISONOUS! Larkspur (this plant was about 5 feet tall):
Quite a raspberry harvest:
Resting our little buddy's leggies:
Back on the trail:
We were within 30 feet of a young male moose before we noticed him - after he snapped a twig. Alas, this is our best picture.
Roasting corn on the fire; mmm, mmm, good!
