Harrison Lake
After a group outing to the Agassiz Tulip Festival was over all too quickly and wondering what to do next on this beautiful sunny day, the guy I carpooled with suggested we go on a road trip. Although we had no specific destination in mind, our driver suggested we try driving along Harrison Lake on a service road he knew existed but had never tried. This was my first road trip experience and man, I had a blast!
Leaving Agassiz behind, we entered the city of Harrison close by. We skipped the famous “Hot Springs” altogether as our goal was to explore the unknown. Back country map in hand, our driver led us to the East side of the lake, on a rather well maintained road. Although a truck is more fit to handle that kind of terrain, sedan type cars such as the ones we saw along the way could still navigate through the light bumps, albeit at a slower pace.
A couple of kilometers into the service road
Waterfall flowing beside a tiny bridge crossing
After some elevation gain, we came across this nice viewpoint (notice the cross at the bottom of the tree)
14 kilometers or so later, at the Bear Creek Recreational Area

Our Harrison Lake road trip over, we still stopped here and there for some great rural views on the way back
Heading West along Hwy 7, another spot worth a picture.
wow I miss the northwest. I lived in western washington and athough I got up to vancouver several times I never was there long enough to expore the greater area. Beautiful!
