VivaLaVida has left the Yukon and began his journey across British Columbia toward South.
 
 
1. First night in BC on the lovely little Boya Lake.
 

 
 
2. A few minutes ago, I was in this beautiful snow shower!
 

 
 
3. Best of all, as a goodbye from the Yukon on which she extends, this beautiful northern light was offered to my eyes as the full moon lit up the shores of the lake.
 

 
 
4. The Cassiar Highway isn’t in really good state and snowshowers continue the next day…
 

 
 
5. Graphism of the snow on this lake.
 

 
 
First detour to discover the valley that leads to Telegraph Creek, a samll village. This valley is the lower valley of the Stikine River, a mighty river that carves its canyon through layers of basalt before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.
 
 
6. Confluence of Tahltan and Stikine rivers, with the summer camp of Tahltan Indians. They spend three months there to catch salmons migrating upstream these rivers.
 

 
 
7. Tahltan cabins.
 

 
 
8. Almost at the end of the road, after Telegraph Creek, there is a nice small lake…
 

 
 
9. … dressed in the colors of autumn that I found back in these warmer latitudes.
 

 
 
10. The Stikine River, powerfull and gorgious…
 

 
 
11. … which flows to the Pacific, just behind the distant mountains.
 

 
 
12. It’s the high season for parades of ruffed grouse!
 

 
 
13. This guy don’t care my presence and runs to the female across the road.
 

 
 
14.Here is one of the coveted female.
 

 
 
15. The road ends here. I hoped to continue on foot but the bad weather forecast for the coming week have made ​​me give up to spend the night here and hike the next day.
 

 
 
16. He was sitting in the middle of the road and went away quietly…
 

 
 
17. VivaLaVida in the Stikine River canyon.
 

 
 
18. And to complete this update, a “snowshoe” hare whose lower legs and ears remain white all summer. This is the main food of the lynx and red fox and as its population has an unchanging cycle of ten years where it almost disappears, predators must rely on squirrels and other small rodents, seeing their population also drastically reducing. It seems that the cycle of snowshoe is from a genetic cause, in part at least…
 

 
 
So much for today! The next miles of VLV to South to come in a few days… 😉
