Looking Backward, crossing to Bowen

Here you can see some of the construction on the Sea To Sky Highway at the bottom of the picture; although Vancouver is the host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler will be the location of many of the events, and to handle the anticipated volume of traffic between Vancouver and Whistler, the highway along that section will be widened and resurfaced. This requires a good bit of blasting and debris removal, as well as logging along the road. Throughout BC I observed strip logging and rock clearing on roadsides. More on that later.
