I’m home now, but I spent 3 days over the past weekend with my Dad in Kelowna. Direct flights on Air North (with a short stop in Vancouver each direction) make the trip extremely easy now. Climbing out over the Yukon River just after our takeoff at 5:10. With...

It’s now Saturday, October 10th, and I’m home in Whitehorse. We got in on Thursday night after a long, dreary day that began with freezing rain. But between Kelowna and Whitehorse, we saw some wonderful places that I want to show you, so let’s step back a few days....

On days 16 and 17 of the trip (Thursday and Friday, September 24 and 25), we drove from Cochrane to West Kelowna with a detour into Lake Louise, a total of 610 km (379 miles). Before we leave Cochrane, I want to show you some more photos of the...

On day 10, Friday, September 18, we made the short drive from Hinton to Jasper. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a few days at Jasper in recent years, but it’s one of those places where no amount of time is enough, so we decided to spend a night...

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...
