A short ride in the rain. I initially planned to go to Whistler, but this time, the weather conditions changed my plans. I decide to head toward the Hope region and Manning Provincial Park, where there seems to be a break in the cloud cover (long live the Internet on the iPhone!).

The showers stop a bit after noon.

I pass through the village of Hope, then cross the provincial park as far as Princeton (BC). The road is pleasant with beautiful mountain passes. The traffic density is relatively high, as it is a very touristy region.

Note: I have to be very careful of deer, as their presence is ubiquitous here. I narrowly avoid a collision two or three times! Let’s just say it wakes you up, especially since on a motorcycle, that kind of contact is unforgiving.

I then stop at the Hampton campground where I relax and prepare for my mountain expedition planned for tomorrow.
