I made this trip myself many years ago. I dreaded the thought of driving back, so I stayed in Alaska for 13 years. The highway was much improved when I finally moved back to the lower 48.
These beautiful areas are like Pakistani northern areas but in Pakistan the mountains are so high then these Canadian mountains we have K2 and Nanga parbat the 2nd and third highest peaks on earth and we have the great Silk road the Kora korum highway from Pakistan to China.😍😘😍
I was 19 years old when I drove that road in January of 1975. I had a 1972 Jeep CJ -5 towing a 1957 16 foot teardrop trailer that was custom built for cold weather conditions because it was used by an engineer who worked on the highway in the late 1950's rebuilding the original wooden bridges into concrete. Back then there was no pavement except for in the large towns like Whitehorse. But we had a smooth ride because the road had, on average, 6 inches of ice and packed snow. There were stretches with ice that was translucent enough to see the gravel roadbed. I was smart enough to have bought brand new mud and snow tires that I had studded before the trip. Those studded tires saved our lives a couple of times on that trip. Not kidding. Your video was very nice and brought back fantastic memories. Thank you!
Very nicely put together road trip, I love those drives where you can take your time & really see the beauty around you, If i ever get caught up here on the acreage, I plan to make that trip next year if all goes well with all my plans this summer :) I live 100% off grid here so many things to do and making a plan for the for a trip like that has to start now so I can get away & not be rushed, hoping to make the trip last for at least 6 weeks, for now I just enjoy trips like your :)
I hope you get to go! It is definitely worth the trip. If you haven’t seen the Icefields Parkway, it is also an unbelievably scenic drive. We have a video on that one, too. Either one is worth the trip. I have never lived off-grid like that. That is amazing!
Beautiful, I drove it over 20 years ago, not much has changed, the scenery is breathtaking, cars few and far between, the roads always under repair. Loved the video.
Your video is great, thank you for sharing the beauty of the places you visit, very inspiring, greetings are always healthy and successful for you my friend, 🙏☺🌹🌹👌
We have not traveled it in the winter. Our goal is to also see the Northern lights! I know you have to have chains on your tires in the winter, and probably want 4 wheel drive.
I’m an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🕯️Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 🤍
I have drove the Alcan 3 times in my life, 2X winter 1X summer, with the last drive a bit over 20 years ago and i still recognize about everything you filmed. That drive must be IMO the most beautiful in North America
If you didn’t stop at Dawson City on the way to Alaska, make doubly sure that you stop for a couple of days on the way back. It is always our favourite area on every one of our northern trips. There is a beautiful territorial campground just a free ferry ride across the river.
I'm so fortunate that I made a wise and productive decisions about my finances that changes my life forever, I'm a single Mum living in New Orleans, United States. I bought my second house in February and I'm really hoping to retire next year at 80 if things continue to go smoothly for me
Es una belleza y matavilla lo que Dios nos ha dado y no valorizamos lo que tenemos y a veces no cuidamos nuestro planeta no deleitamos en la naturaleza y en los animales que son preciosos
I agree completely. Being in Alaska makes me realize so much more how important it is to take care of our planet and keep portions of it wild and untouched.
Very nice. I read every comments in this video. When I see snowy mountains, clean clear rivers and lonely woods reminds me of "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams". His friends Ben, Mad Jack and Nikoma.
I rode my motorcycle all up through there in summer 1990. Looks the same, saw moose running alongside the road, etc. Would like to go again, thanks for the look.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Thanks, the moose was a bit scary, it was a full grown bull running alongside the road right next to me. The thing was huge! I rode 6,000 miles alone and camped in a tent for a month, never saw a bear.
My wife and I with 3 year old and 5 week old Daughters made the trip southbound from Anchorage beginning july 20, 1974 camping in canvas tent. We loved it, road was all Gravel or mix of local materials. Rainy weather the entire trip. Planning to do again hope it happens.
I lived it. I grew up on the highway in 70s and the 80s and lived in ft. Nelson. I worked on the highway in the summers while in high school. Some of the most scenic parts of the road are located north of Ft. Nelson…Steamboat Mountain, Summit Mountain, Toad River, Muncho Lake and Liard Hot Springs. The road now is dramatically different than back in the early 80s. Imagine the road when it was all gravel with twists and turns and ruts etc. almost of the road has now been straighten and it’s still quite curvy. it would take 4.5 hours to drive from Ft. Nelson to Fort St. John. Now imagine it at -40. Our kids’ hockey teams would travel that road in the winter. We once flew to Watson Lake for a tournament in Cassiar. We took a school bus from Watson Lake down the Cassier highway to Cassier in the middle of winter (roughly 125 miles) No traffic, no cell phones in the middle of winter -40. This bus could barely climb the hills.
How are the insects? Black flies? Mosquitos? I was in (Alaska:) Anchorage, Ketchikan, Glenallen, Copper Center, Talkeetna, Juneau, Skagway, and McCarthy...late June/early July. In some places the mosquitos were annoying and ever-present. When walking on glaciers, no bugs at all! Some places were pretty bad, none were insect-free (Well, Anchorage, Juneua and Ketchikan were relatively bug-free). I've heard that at times, it can be overwhelming. What were your experiences?
Sounds like an amazing trip! The bugs just came out when the weather hit the 60’s this week! My husband has bites all over his forehead. The mosquito nets are coming out! Black flies are bad, and mosquitoes come and go… at the moment.
My name is Nielson interesting coincidence. Nothing like the Alcan I first drove in the summer of 1971 headed for Fairbanks and a 20 year stay. All frost-heaved, wash-boarded, and rutted. Broke down in Ft Nelson, BC, on blocks behind the Esso station for two weeks waiting on parts. Only good thing I got to work on the Canadian RR..always thought of Lightfoot and the Canadian RR Triology. RIP
Thank you for sharing that great memory! My wife and I needed 2-days of steering column repairs in Whitehorse. Thankfully the parts were in stock at the dealership. We will check out that Canadian RR trilogy song and remember a day long gone.
Love your video
Just did the Alaska Highway up, and the Cassiar Hwy down myself... really was gorgeous
I made this trip myself many years ago. I dreaded the thought of driving back, so I stayed in Alaska for 13 years. The highway was much improved when I finally moved back to the lower 48.
Lol. That is a good idea! Stay here in Alaska so long that the highway improves.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Seemed like the right thing to do at the time!😉
SANJU form INDIA 👍🙂
why did you move back to the lower 48? i'm dreaming of the day that i finally visit alaska.
@@DocRiprock I was nearing retirement and wanted to move back to where my family comes from.
I loved your voice & video From India 🇮🇳

No road protection.... On boundary side... Such roads get worse broken within 5 years due to heavy raining
What a beautiful road to travel,leave out some bad patches.
Beautifully made video

Hello, excellent video!! Now I want to make this trip. What time of the year did you travel in this video?
We traveled the highway in the middle of May.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Have you travelled this road in the winter time? My aim is to see the northern lights too. Thanks.
We have not traveled it in the winter. Our goal is to also see the Northern lights! I know you have to have chains on your tires in the winter, and probably want 4 wheel drive.
Nice weather
beautiful green hills and mountains, look like our beautiful Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️❤️🙏🙏

The Alaska Canada Highway beautiful video, the road you have made as it is called to find it thank you
Canada... Its geographical features are the Hunza Valley and the Chipurson Gojal Valley Pakistan
If you didn’t stop at Dawson City on the way to Alaska, make doubly sure that you stop for a couple of days on the way back. It is always our favourite area on every one of our northern trips. There is a beautiful territorial campground just a free ferry ride across the river.
We will definitely have to check out Dawson City. Thank you for the tip on the ferry. Can’t wait!
