Before we leave Hinton and continue on to Jasper, I want to show you the Hinton/Jasper KOA campground, as it’s the nicest one we’ve stayed at yet. First impressions are really important, and the office is very nice. The woman who checked me in was professional and friendly, and...

With huge changes coming to Highway 29 in the next few years due to the construction of a massive new power dam, it was important to me to make the fairly lengthy detour to get another look at it. Sunday, September 13th, day 5 of the trip, entailed a...

Day 14 (Friday, August 14th) of our trip saw us drive 375 km (233 mi) from Tok to the Congden Creek Campground on Kluane Lake. MJ and Jim had to drive home the next day to return their rental RV, but Cathy and I stayed to enjoy our favourite...

On Day 12 of the trip, Wednesday, August 12th, we drove 224 km (139 mi) from Denali National Park to Tangle Lakes Campground on the Denali Highway. The next day was a long one, 476 km (296 mi) to Tok via Copper Center. We left Riley Creek Campground just...

After some intensive days, things slowed down enough that I can put 3 days in one blog post, with “only” 24 photos 🙂 On Saturday (August 8th), we drove the 383 km (238 mi) from Seward to Talkeetna, then onSunday, continued on another 245 km (152 mi) to Denali...

Our second full day in Seward would have lots of variety, and we split up for a while. Our first job of the day, though, was to find a new place to park our motorhomes. Unable to find a site at the City’s waterfront parks in town, we had...

We had built some flexibility into our itinerary, and that had already become useful, as the days were much shorter than we thought they’d be (that could have something to do with our “early to bed, late to rise” regime) 🙂 We had also re-thought some of our campgrounds,...

We got home last night from 17 days touring Alaska in our motorhome, accompanied by Whitehorse friends who rented a motorhome from Fraserway. We drove 3,284 km in the RVs, plus another couple of hundred in the Tracker we towed. Total driving time in the RVs was just under...

Monday had been a busy and yet very relaxing day, and the plan was for the next couple of days to be similar. We got off to a late start Tuesday morning (July 14 – I’m getting way behind!). Monty slept with me as usual, and Bella and Molly...

Although I had planned to be on the road for much of the 2 weeks that Cathy was visiting family in Ontario, it didn’t work out that way, for a few reasons, one of them the weather. July has been very wet in Whitehorse, dampening both the forests and...
