Roads and wildlife

Our 2016 Alaska trip
Roads:
Milepost had rated some sections as rough but we really haven't driven any roads that were as bad as some of the interstates we have taken or some of the roads we have driven in our 30+ living in Vermont. That said I have my phd and don't mind, given clear traffic in each direction, used all the paved road to avoid any obstruction.

So far the construction areas haven't been an issue either. We like that there frequent used of Pilot Cars so single lane travel has been uneventful.

Basically the roads between AZ and Johnson's Crossing Yukon are just fine.

Wildlife:
Underwhelming. Some Stone Sheep, Goats,  a couple of Elk, 1 woods Bison, a few Black Bears and possible 1 Griz.  Oh 3 Moose feeding across the the pond/lake at Toad River CG.

We are at Johnsons Crossing Yukon

A lot of miles have rolled over the tires.
Banff - we spent a few nights there and took over the sights in town, Hot Springs, Museums, ... and of course of the tourists wandering the town.
Banff Parks Museum
Banff Bow Falls
Banff Cave and Basin
We also took a drive to Lake Louise and  Moriane Lake

We glamped at Banff  Tunnel Mountain Trailer Court. Nice wide sites, easy in/out.

We drove the Ice Fields Highway to Jasper for an overnight there. Along the way we stopped at  Columbia Icefield Discovery Center   where Ann and Wally took in the ride onto the glaicer and the sky walk. Joan and her crew caught up and took a tour of the Discovery and proceeded on to Jasper  We believe we would have been better served to continued to the KOA in Hinton.

When we left Jasper we went to Hinton to fuel up and do a little shopping at the Safeway and Wal Mart. The it was on to highway 40 that takes us through Grande Cache an into Grand Prairie.

We stayed at the Rotary Campgroud and took into the large Sun Dial and dinner out.

Next on our journey was Dawson Creek and the official start of the Alaskan Highway. Of course we took  in all the sites and found a great Meat Market.   When you are in Dawson Creek this is a must stop.  There are several murals along the old town.  Of course what is not left than finding the local Wal Mart.

Next stop is Fort Nelson with the heritage museum, visitors center and dinner at the local Boston Pizza joint.

Any trip, well at least a first trip, is the stop for the world famous Sticky Buns at Testa River Lodge. Once we had our buns safely stored in the coach it was on to Toad River for our night. This is a very place to stop and we watched Moose feeding across the lake as well as watched Beaver and Otter.

Now the big place to make a stop, we made an overnight, is the Liard River Hot Springs. We camped at the Provincial park and had no problem parking our rig in the site we picked. There are many sites that would take our large Motor Home.

Next is Watson Lake and the Sign Post Forest and the Northern Lights Center could have done with out of the Northern Lights Center.  One night there is enough for that stop. 

That brings us to Teslin Lake where we made a stop at Tlingit Heritage Center.  Our over night is at Johnsons Crossing.
