Back to Bralorn

I had been up to Bralorn a month ago, but had not been able to spend much time exploring the area, So now that I have the engine guards
I'm headed back

The trip really starts after you leave Pemberton, to head up the Lillooet river valley.
it's a great paved road, with many harleys , taking advantage of the flowing curves.







The farmers here were already harvesting their first crop.












From here I crossed the Lillooet River, and rode on the upper Lillooet FSR for a short way, till I could get on the road that would take me up, and over the Hurley pass.



At the top of the pass the road go's through this high alpine valley





Here is the back road into Bralorn
Great Pub!





















Now on my way up to Kingdom Lake
Where I will be Camping for a few days

















Just an amazing day







Setting up camp







All the necessities



I went down to check out the lake
and found this little guy



The next day, I was up early, and went exploring















I followed old mining roads,
and kept getting deeper into the mountains



An abandoned mine



Not something you want to see in your mirrors















Lot of bears around here







This road just ends



So, back out to find some more



This is really why I started riding














I was going to take my bike over this bridge, and see the "Dan Tucker Mine"



But...



Mmmm strawberries









A few shots of Bralorn







The next day, on the way home
(not feeling to well...Beer)
Pemberton Valley
