Brian took a day off work to come with us on a day's exploring and photography. That was one of Mike's main goals of this trip was getting some great photos! We headed east toward Hope. We stopped first at Bridal Veil Falls....haven't been there in a long time, and it was so beautiful!! It was lightly raining so I had my umbrella, but everything was so fresh and colors so vibrant!
Everywhere we looked was gorgeous!
Then on to Hope where we got into one car and went up the #1 Hiway towards Hell's Gate. We stopped at a place Mike had found in his research called the Alexandra Bridge, which was used back in the 20s and now theres a new bridge and this is just a foot bridge and great photo shoot area.
It was just really cool with the Fraser River rushing below, swirling around. You could easily see it through the grates in the roadway. It was scary holding your cell phone because if you dropped it, it might go through!
And the cloud cover made for great pictures!
Next on to the Othello Tunnels which we love!
Such an awesome river!
The Othello tunnels used to be a railroad built through this steep and dangerous canyon and is now open for the public to enjoy.
No, he didn't build it....it was already there.
THEN, David brought the bubbles! What a unique place to do bubbles. We had so much fun because the conditions were perfect.....no other people, high humidity, no wind, and the scenery incredible!
The bubbles lasted forever!! They would do a whole circle or more slowly before it would pop or slowly go over the edge and still wouldn't pop for a long time. So fun!
David and I left about 8:30 and brought one car home, while the other three stayed another hour to get some more great shots.
