Even though it was cloudy all day, the drive from Fort Nelson to Laird Springs was very pretty.  For most of the day we had no cell phone reception and very limited services along the route.  The area is supposed to be rich in wildlife.  We saw many signs by the road warning of moose, but we were disappointed we didn’t  see any wildlife.

We had a 15 minute wait because of road construction.

Our campsite was very private and level at Liard Springs even though we had no hookups.  The weather was perfect for dry camping.

Liard Hot Springs

The Liard River Hot Springs are the second-largest known thermal spring complex in Canada, with at least six springs feeding into different pools and streams that drain into the marsh. The further from the source, the cooler the water.

The total volume of water flowing through the complex is 120 to 130 litres per second.
