Dusk on the beach at Tlell, Haida Gwaii Thursday, December 10th. I left Haida Gwaii, BC on Thurdsay, December 10 for a trip 2/3rds of the way across Canada. The skies across this huge country are beautiful. View Directions to Ottawa, ON, Canada in a larger map
I dedicate this post to my Greyhound Refugee Buddies, eight of us who were abandoned by Greyhound in Edmonton, Alberta to fend for ourselves. By coming together, standing up for each other everybody got home despite Greyhound Canada(another post).

That first photo is breath taking. The rest of the series is great. I will not say it is cold here again (only -1!)

What an adventure your had, across Canada. Lovely pictures!
Excellent shots Carolyn, did you make it to the Casino in Regina? And that building with the teepee you were asking about is the First Nations University of Canada. I have some pics of it on my blog.
All the best :)

Lovely photos! I read that it went down to -46.1C in Edmonton and I wondered how anyone could possibly survive that. But I see that you are okay. Sounds like a great journey. Keep warm!
I dont think I would like to be Greyhound Canada by the time you have finished with them.
That is an adventure across Canada that I aspire to in the not-too-distant future.
What a journey! I've heard more than a few horror stories about traveling by Greyhound bus, but you made the most of your trip with all the fine photographs.
Crossing Canada at this time of year is a brave undertaking, but it looks like it was a most spectacularly beautiful trip, albeit very long and not without it's trials.
The pics are wonderful and I loved my trans Canada trip and am happy to know you made it safely.
How crazy are those temps in Edmonton?!?!!!
Awesome skies out there.
Great shots!
Happy weekend.
Your photos are gorgeous. What an adventure.
Thank you for the wonderful cross-country trip in photos.
Cool set of photos travel thru Canada. What a neat trip! Thanks for the tour.
Great photos all but I particularly liked the first and the last. The Rideau Canal looks wonderful.
West of Edmonton? I think it might be their coal-fired electricity generation plant.
That's quite the trip to make by Greyhound! You're a brave soul!
This is a great way to see Canada, Carolyn! I wish I were with you. ;-)
Epic is the word for your travels, Carolyn. I'll look forward to reading the account of the people power episode.
I've been catching up. You've been really busy and traveling a lot since I was last able to read your posts. Your bus trip across Canada was quite an adventure and ordeal. But the joy of a new grandchild will make it all so wonderful. - Margy
