In Hot Water

---

We left Watson Lake heading to our first stop at Contact Creek for fuel. The sky was partly cloudy and interesting, with a partial sun dog and a verga rainbow.

We stopped at an overlook at Cranberry Rapids on the Liard River. There were trees blocking most of our view of the rapids, but the sound of the water over rocks was musical. Later we stopped at Whirlpool Canyon, also on the Liard River. The river was a little low for whirlpools, but the water was still swift and the piled up logs were evidence of the power of the river when it’s high.

We saw bison alongside the highway, and they were nice enough to pose for pictures.

We stopped at the campground at Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park, and set up the campers and ate lunch before heading for the hot springs. It was quite a walk down a nice boardwalk through interesting vegetation (mosquitoes.) The hot springs were great, the water amazingly hot. There was a bench under a man-made waterfall where you could sit and get a wonderful back and neck massage from the rushing water. Heavenly. We stayed in until our faces turned pink from the heat, then went back to the campers and napped until time to cook supper. It’s a very nice park, but the mosquitoes will carry you away.
