Heading down the Alaska Highway

Posted On May 7, 2009

I’m currently in a hotel at Mile 300 of the Alaska Highway (Fort Nelson, BC). I had hoped to reach Fort St. John but got slowed down by seeing about a million animals up close today – bears, moose, caribou, Rocky Mountain sheep, bison, even a bald eagle feeding on a road-killed bison! Here’s a very brief look at the day, with the photos in the order they were shot:

This is the parking lot at Rancheria Falls at 9:45 a.m. I had planned to hike into the falls but the snow was too deep.

This is the MacDonald River valley.
