  • We made it onto the Alaska Highway! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
    The Alaska Highway runs around 1,400 miles from Dawson Creek in British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska, going through the Yukon along the way. We spent a total of a week driving this road, with 3 days of it in British Columbia, which has tons of stunning views, fun stops, hikes, a hot spring, wildlife, and so much more!

    Thanks for bringing back some fond memories of my greatest road trip ever. i drove from Chicago to Fairbanks in 1993, leaving late in the season on Aug. 6th. I headed up through Minneapolis, North Dakota, Glacier/Waterton NP, Banff, Jasper, and Hinton. (The Columbia Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff has some of the most stunning mountain scenery in all of North America-it's a "must see!") It was good to see Muncho Lake and Liard Hot Springs again. I detoured into Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and then headed to Fairbanks. I spent about 5 days in and around Denali National Park and then down to Anchorage to stay with friends. I made it to Homer and Wrangell-St. Elias NP. My friends won the lottery to drive your personal vehicle all the way to Wonder Lake in Denali NP on the last day the park was open: Sept. 13th and they gave the ticket to me to use because they couldn't. Amazing. It was late in the season, and I knew I had to book it south quickly to avoid snow. Between Hinton and Jasper, it snowed quite a bit but melted the next day. I returned to Chicago by way of Vancouver, BC; San Diego, CA; New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL; and Memphis, TN. Al totaled, I was gone 70 days and drove 18,168 miles. I'd do it again tomorrow (except, perhaps, the camping in a tent every night part. 😂) The only issue I had with my vehicle on the Alaska Highway was a burned out headlight from the requirement to have you lights on at all times. Safe travels.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Год назад +2

      That is an EPIC trip! We just spent some time in Denali a couple weeks ago and had a great time even only on the first 43 miles so we can only imagine how awesome the rest of the road is!

    Great video. You do a great job highlighting your adventures and the beauty of BC. I taught school at Toad River (Mile 422) for a year and 2 more years in Ft. Nelson in the early-mid-90s. Travelling back and forth to FN, my teaching partner and I would often be stopped and blocked on the highway by a herd of hundreds of caribou. (Literally, like the scene from Polar Express!) No shortage of wildlife and northern lights. I'm surprised you didn't see any moose, deer, wolves, elk, etc. It's hard to believe but Stone Mountain is even more amazing on a bright and sunny day and video just isn't able to capture the breath-taking blue of Muncho Lake. The locals and truckers on the highway are some of the best people you'll meet.

    Wonderful video!! Brings back great memories of the 6 trips I had with my parents. Last one being in 1988. We used a pick up truck with a homemade camper shell. The Alcan was gravel road at that time. Lots of construction too!! Met great people along the way. Would love to go back and experience it again! Watching your videos is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy your adventures!!🤩

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

Loved all the driving dance moves and Kathryn’s comment to Adam, “what are you doing?” Haha! The hot springs looked so relaxing no wonder you stayed so long. And, Kona had a lot of time in the video which you know gamma loves❣️ Keep traveling safe and know that you are awesome and no one can take that away from you! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰

    I admire your bravery, hiking in such a remote area, especially after seeing all of those bears! Everything looks so beautiful. My husband was stationed in Alaska in the Air Force, but I have never been. We are planning to drive there in the next few years🤞, so your videos are very helpful!

      Ya we get nervous, but as long as we are alert, make noise, and know what to do when we encounter a bear we'll be alright! We hope you can go! We plan on creating lots of written content on our website from our journey this year so hopefully that will be helpful as well!

    I got behind on your videos this summer because I was off on my own 2-month Utah adventure with limited internet and cell access (with many of my stops inspired by your videos from last year!), so I am just now starting to catch up. If these first Canada videos are any indication, it looks like you have had an absolutely amazing adventure this summer. I can't wait to see all of your Alaska experiences! As always, truly top quality videography on display here!
