Day 9: Jasper, AB to Terrace, BC

When we decided on an extra day in Jasper, we knew that would mean a long day of driving today. Our ferry to Alaska leaves on August 1, so we knew we needed to make it to Prince Rupert by then. The drive was a little long, but it was pretty amazing to see the landscape change from the rocky terrain of Jasper to a bit of flat to the beginnings of the lush combination of rainforest and mountains in the Pacific Northwest.

Other than that, the day was pretty uneventful. We learned a bit about the Yellowhead Highway along the way, before finally arriving in Terrace. We heard from a few people that the drive from Terrace to Prince Rupert was especially beautiful, and would therefore be a shame to drive at night, so we decided to spend the night in Terrace. We found an excellent Airbnb in Terrace, in a fairly residential neighborhood, but with everything we needed and more. A very nice kitchen to make dinner, plus some extra time in the morning to do laundry and get organized before we got on the ferry. 

Only a little over a day until we finally arrive in Alaska!
