Climbing adventures in BC - day 6 of 10, driving to Skaha

After a wet and cold day having mini-epics, Megan and I decided we should go check out Skaha some 7 or 8 hours east of Squamish. After three days of climbing, we needed a rest day anyway. Most of the climbers at Squamish seemed to have the same idea, the camp ground was noticeably more empty today. So today's adventure consisted mostly having breakfast at Sunflower Cafe and long distance driving. It was still drizzly when we left Squamish, the Hope-Princeton Highway was a very scenic highway, especially in misty weather.

But once we crossed the mountains into the rain shadow, it was dry and sunny weather. The almost desert-like view was much different from the wet evergreens at Squamish. We stopped at roadside farmer's market for fresh blueberries and cherries, and pulled into the Waterworld RV Park at Penticton around 6 o'clock in the evening. Thus ended an adventure filled day, moose sighting: zero.
