In the morning we truly appreciated the amazing scenery at the campground. We were surrounded by mountains on all sides, each with different geological formations. A geologist would be in heaven!

The Tombstone Interpretive Centre not only made us a beautiful tea but pointed out a rock glacier on a nearby mountain. A rock glacier is a glacier of rocks held together by ice.

The highway took us through some stunning scenery which changed completely every half hour or so. For the most part, the gravel highway was in very good shape and fairly smooth, but occasionally there were sections with dust, potholes and lots of washboard. We wondered whether our teeth would stay in our mouths and whether we should continue.

We had lunch at a river surrounded by mountains and sunshine. One river on our trip was particularly colourful because of the many minerals dissolved in the water.

Not much later we drove through many kilometers of burnt forest. We later found out that this enormous fire had taken place in June and July of this year.

We finally made it to kilometre 369 and arrived at the Eagle Plains Hotel, Restaurant and Campground. We had dinner with Cathy, who is responsible for roads in the area, and her dog Sierra. She promised us the second half of the highway is not as challenging as the first half.
