Yuki (and Brody's) RV Adventures: Traveling the Alaskan Highway

Greetings!

I like the view from up here! The Alaskan Highway begins in Dawson Creek, British Columbia(BC} and continues through BC and the Yukon and ends at the border to Alaska.

The towns along the way are very small and not too scenic, but the scenery along the way is beautiful.

There are constant repairs on the highway, so stops along the way are common.

One night we camped on Muncho Lake,

It was beautiful at night, and this is as dark as it gets.

We crossed the border into the Yukon Territory.

The first town was Watson Lake and we stopped to visit the Signpost Forest, which orginated in 1942 when a G.I. working on the highway added a sign for his hometown. Since then it has grown to over 75,500 signs.

Mom walked all over looking for a sign from South Pasadena, and wishing she had thought to bring one.

We spent a few days in Tagish, Yukon (no real town) just the Six Mile River Resort, right over the Tagish bridge.

Mostly cabins and a great restaurant and a small place for RV's. The first day we were the only RV there.

That changed the next night! And they all had dogs for me to play with.

I kept an eye out for the eagle who sat on the telephone post behind our RV. I was a bit afraid he might swoop down and get a hold of my harness and pull me up!

From there we took two day trips in our car. The first was to Atlin, BC's northernmost settlement and isolated (no roads) to the rest of BC. It was a boomtown during the Klondike gold rush of 1898 and today is a very small community with stunning scenery.

The next day we drove to Skagway, Alaska. Mom and dad had been there before on our cruise to Alaska, but had forgotten how very touristy it was and full of people from several cruise ships. They left me in the car while they did walked around the town.
