Driving Highway 99: The most beautiful road in BC!

And we're calling this the cowboy loop. Yeehaw! The second part of our journey takes us to the white cliffs of Marble Canyon and then west to the beautiful little town of Lillooet nestled in the mountains. We are heading into British Columbia's cowboy country so let's go. We have arrived to Marble Canyon Provincial Park and now we are having the first campfire actually of our whole trip so far. And it looks super bright outside right now. It's actually quarter after seven. We're just gonna cook up some hot dogs for dinner and enjoy the evening right here on the lake. On one of our first camping trips we had a discussion on the best way to cook a hot dog over a campfire. Vertical or horizontal and it seemed like horizontal was actually the best. So that's the technique I'm going to use tonight. Actually I'll give this one to you. So I don't know about you guys, I like pretty basic stuff on my hot dog. Just mustard and ketchup. But Jay... I don't know that much stuff. I have a little bit of utility sauce and some ketchup and some mustard and some dill relish. It's not excessive. That's pretty saucy. It's probably gonna make a mess. It's cold. Should I swim in this lake too? I think I'm probably gonna have to. Oh yeah you committed before we went on this trip. You said I'm gonna swim in every lake that we go to. And now a homeroam first. Benny will go for a dip in the lake. All right Benny are you ready? What do you think? Curious kitten. The breeze has really picked up but I feel like I have a bit of a friend here who I'm gonna go swimming with. Sorry I don't have anything for you. He's forget you then. Oh look she's coming with us. Oh yeah can you go for a swim too? All right yeah come this way. This is so cute. We're gonna test the temperature of the water all right. Air temperature is about 23. It's right at the edge where it's super shallow. It's 18 degrees celsius. And our little ducky friend has just gotten in and she says just go for it. First dip is always so bad. Don't fall in. Water temperature 18 over there but I think it's colder over here. Two, one, the duck has left the building. How do you feel? Wet. Good dip number one. So after being out in the deep water this shallow section feels just like bath water. Those extra couple degrees I could stay in here all day. Mel's just setting up one of our favorite games here, Forbidden Island. It's a collaborative game where you play together and you're all on the same team trying to reach the same objective. Check out our rainy days video. Rainy day activities? No. Rainy day things to do for adults. This is one of the games that we suggest and there's a few others too. Well our time here at Marble Canyon has come to an end and today we are heading to Skihist Provincial Park and we'll be going through Lillooet again. It's Friday and their farmer's market is on so we're going to stop there first. We're just going to pack up here and keep on rolling. Wow you guys, highway 99 between Marble Canyon and coming into Lillooet is awesome. There are so many great views. A couple areas actually were a little bit scary. There was no guardrail and like right below hardly any shoulder there was just like this cliff down to someone's house. We've just stopped here at a roadside to get this amazing waterfall that we've just seen. Right, I'll line up your fingers, right there. It's absolutely huge. It's way off in the distance but you can actually hear it from here. Got my bathing suit on now. We've got the bend and we're going down to Seton Lake to take a little dip. There's a sudden drop. I'll have to watch for that. We have no temperature readings today because I forgot the thermometer up at the top of the hill and I don't want to go all the way back up and get it. I'm at Seton Lake and I'm crazy. Oh it still feels cold. Oh when you get out here it is so so icy cold. Is it really glacier fed? Yes it really is. You can feel the glacier. Well that was just a nice little refreshing dip. If you want to see more of me freezing my butt off in ice cold lakes be sure to smash that like button. We finally saw sheep. We've seen so many signs to watch out for bighorn sheep and these are actually the first ones we've seen. Very exciting. All right let's keep going. As we continued down the valley we saw smoke from a large wildfire burning just south of the town of Lytton. We had planned to do a tour video of the town but decided to come back and film it later since it was only an hour from home. Two weeks later a fast-moving wildfire ripped through the town destroying most buildings displacing a thousand residents and leaving two dead. We've linked below for information on wildfire prevention and how you can help people affected by the wildfires in BC. And on that somber note we conclude part two. We of course always appreciate it when you like our videos subscribe to our channel and hit the bell to be notified of future videos. In our third and final episode we stay at Skihist Provincial Park keeping a watchful eye on the nearby wildfire and then head south to journey up the rugged and remote Nahatlatch Valley. Stay safe everyone and keep on living the life you've imagined.
