Williams Lake to Prince Rupert

Last Saturday morning I left Williams Lake direction Prince George. This ride wasn't very scenic it's mostly farmland and also the little detour over Barkervill, a historic town, wasn't really interesting. In Prince George I visited the University of Northern BC which has a very nice architecture. Then I haded west again on the Yellowhead highway direction Prince Rupert. The first over night stop was in Burns Lake a small town about 200km west of Prince George. The next day I drove to Smithers with a few stops along the highway to take some pictures of the scenery that started to get better and better. In smithers I camped for a night and the next morning I visited the Twin Falls a place where you can see two big waterfalls. Yesterday I made my way to Terrace which is the last town before Prince Rupert. On the way I stopped in Moricetown where you can watch the native people fish from the rocks. The second stop on this day was in Hazelton where I visited a native village with totempoles. In the evening I spent the night in a provincial park close to Terrace which is just a few minutes away of Mount Layton Hot Springs where I spent the evening. Today I finally made my way to Prince Rupert.
