My Travels, Volume 2: Intermountain Region

During our travels we made a detour from our mountainous cordillera route and we instead entered the beautiful Intermountain Region. To my bewilderment, this region goes often unnoticed. This small area composed of Interior British Columbia and Interior Yukon is located right in between the Coastal and Rocky Mountains. The area offers a very bright alternative to the moist cordillera, as these high plateaus have very low precipitation, and tend to be a warmer climate. Driving across this region however could pose danger as fault scraps are present in this region and these could possibly pose a significant(though in general, poorly quantified)  seismic hazard (earthquake danger). During our time in the Intermountain, we stopped in Prince George and visited the Exploration Place, there we saw great exhibits on first nations history, and a formidable paleontological exhibit. We also participated in a picnic by the beautiful Kamloops lake. This stage of our tour has been awesome so far, but now it is time to explore outside of British Columbia.
