June 6. The drive from Fort Nelson to Liard Hot springs was amazing. We left the Peace River Valley and climbed up into the Central Canadian Rockies. We saw lots of Rock Sheep grazing at the very edge of the pavement. They lick up salt left from salting the roads during  winter. They are probably the dumbest animals I have ever seen. Liard Hot Springs was awesome. Mineral hot springs the size of Olympic swimming pools with crystal clear aqua waters. The pools range from 105 to 110 degrees. We also met so many nice travellers headed for Alaska like us, and we met a couple from Paradise! The boardwalk to the springs takes you through a forest filled with ferns, queen anne's lace, mare's tail, birch and aspen.
