Alaska Trip Day 27

We spent the morning in Whistler going thru the village and taking the Peak to Peak Gondola ride. It is the Worlds longest unsupported free span (2.73 miles), the worlds highest lift (1427 ft) and the worlds longest continuous lift system. We left Whistler at 12.15 PM and had another gorgeous drive to Kamloops. We stopped to watch a helicopter collect water in the lake beside the road and fly to the mountain to release it. When in the Fraser Canyon (Hells Gate area) we had to quit stopping and taking pictures as we still had to drive at least 160 of the days 340 total miles. We saw a lot of smoke today in fact we had our room upgraded to a suite tonight as they took in a lot of people evacuated from their homes and they gave us a nicer room because we had a reservation. We didn’t get here until 8:45 PM. Just heard on the news that 250 of the 450 fires in BC are in this Kamloops area. We are hoping that one of the two main roads out are open tomorrow.
