We made it onto the Alaska Highway! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
The Alaska Highway runs around 1,400 miles from Dawson Creek in British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska, going through the Yukon along the way. We spent a total of a week driving this road, with 3 days of it in British Columbia, which has tons of stunning views, fun stops, hikes, a hot spring, wildlife, and so much more!

Thanks for bringing back some fond memories of my greatest road trip ever. i drove from Chicago to Fairbanks in 1993, leaving late in the season on Aug. 6th. I headed up through Minneapolis, North Dakota, Glacier/Waterton NP, Banff, Jasper, and Hinton. (The Columbia Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff has some of the most stunning mountain scenery in all of North America-it's a "must see!") It was good to see Muncho Lake and Liard Hot Springs again. I detoured into Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and then headed to Fairbanks. I spent about 5 days in and around Denali National Park and then down to Anchorage to stay with friends. I made it to Homer and Wrangell-St. Elias NP. My friends won the lottery to drive your personal vehicle all the way to Wonder Lake in Denali NP on the last day the park was open: Sept. 13th and they gave the ticket to me to use because they couldn't. Amazing. It was late in the season, and I knew I had to book it south quickly to avoid snow. Between Hinton and Jasper, it snowed quite a bit but melted the next day. I returned to Chicago by way of Vancouver, BC; San Diego, CA; New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL; and Memphis, TN. Al totaled, I was gone 70 days and drove 18,168 miles. I'd do it again tomorrow (except, perhaps, the camping in a tent every night part. 😂) The only issue I had with my vehicle on the Alaska Highway was a burned out headlight from the requirement to have you lights on at all times. Safe travels.

I did a little research on that and the show is set in the eastern USA, whether the producers borrowed the show's name from this town was not revealed, however, is it not true that creeks (small mountain streams) are pronounced "cricks" down south?

Great video. You do a great job highlighting your adventures and the beauty of BC. I taught school at Toad River (Mile 422) for a year and 2 more years in Ft. Nelson in the early-mid-90s. Travelling back and forth to FN, my teaching partner and I would often be stopped and blocked on the highway by a herd of hundreds of caribou. (Literally, like the scene from Polar Express!) No shortage of wildlife and northern lights. I'm surprised you didn't see any moose, deer, wolves, elk, etc. It's hard to believe but Stone Mountain is even more amazing on a bright and sunny day and video just isn't able to capture the breath-taking blue of Muncho Lake. The locals and truckers on the highway are some of the best people you'll meet.

Thanks-what a well done video! Appreciate the photography and the side trips. I drove it 5 years ago from Louisville to Fairbanks in a 1970 Superbird, leaving to repeat the trip in 16 days and was not aware of the washout at Liard. Between Whitehorse and Haines Junction watch the frost heaves and wild horses and keep posting!

I don't know if we just drive too slow or if we didn't recognize them, but we didn't notice the frost heaves all that much. The worst part of the road in our opinion was the first 20-30 miles after entering Alaska. That part was really rough! The rest was a breeze! Thanks and thanks for watching!

Hello Adventurers, this was AWESOME! The hiking areas and hot springs were amazing. AWESOME driving through dirt section of the Alaska Highway amongst beautiful lakes and MOUNTAINS to the Yukon Border. Those delicacies along the route...so good to see like those BIG Cinnamon rolls...and of course No one saved a roll for us. You know something, I had bucket list to fly to Anchorage but after y'all are driving...we will fly to Seattle or Vancouver and take the drive to Alaska next year. OUTSTANDING VIDEO...AWESOME!!!!
