Unit team rider, and big mountain slayer, James Doerfling has an epic photo feature up now at www.pinkbike.com.
"Driving east from the life-sucking drizzle of the Vancouver winter, the landscape changes pretty fast. Within an hour you reach the flat, aromatic farmland valley of Chilliwack. Then another half-hour has you at the gateway town of Hope...gateway to good times that is. After Hope the highway winds itself through arguably BC’s most treacherous stretch of the trans Canada highway. Aptly named “death highway” by the truckers. There are sheer cliffs that rain boulders on unsuspecting motorists on the right and to the left it drops precipitously down to the Fraser River. Add to that constatntly changing mountain weather and a narrow, winding, steep road, and it’s no wonder there's more highway accident closures here than anywhere else in BC. Then, another hour north, if you make it out in one piece...BAM!.. you’re in another land. The desert to be exact. Where it’s usually sunny and ten degrees warmer. This is what we came for."
