This is one of the most scenic trips while traveling on Highway 5A through Nicola Valley to Merritt, BC. It is important to have the sun at your back. Equally thrilling is flying through the same valley. The countryside is spectacular—often weather-challenging but incredibly rewarding when successful. It was a day of perfect fun, even though it was on the colder side. This is part 1 of 2. My continued journey back home is featured in video #515.
