Thanks for this video. My husband and I are getting ready to travel from Arizona to Alaska. He drove the Alcan over 50 years ago and still thinks it all gravel, beginning to end.This video gave him some relief to know it's paved most of the way.
Have a wonderful time! Be sure to pick up a copy of the Milepost. It makes trip planning much easier, and there are historical notes throughout. Thanks for watching!
Made this road from Fresno, Cal. To Fairbanks, Alaska in 1981. Up and back. The Canadian stretch back then was about 700 miles of dirt, one way. You passed and showed my favorite spot for the whole trip, Muncho Lake. I still remember the cinnamon rolls at the bakery. Thank you. The Alcan should be on every traveler's bucket list.
Wow, that’s a long trip! Both my husband and I traveled up in the 80’s as well. I remember that dirt road. This is much nicer, even with the road construction. I agree-Muncho Lake is gorgeous, and this is definitely makes the bucket list. Thank you for watching!
Agreed! Way to go-6 times through in winter! Our first trip up was in November of 2020-the videos are up on the channel if you’d like to check them out. The winter trip was gorgeous. Unfortunately, everything was closed and we have yet to visit the hot springs. We’ll put it on the list for the next trip. Thanks for watching!
No, but we made sure they were up to date on their shots, esp. Rabies. We had their vet records with us in case we needed them, and their vaccination tags on their harnesses. Make sure you bring doggie bags to clean up after your pet. They are not readily available along the route.
@@meaganblessing thanks for your quick response. We are hoping to drive to Alaska next year. It would have been smooth sailing with just us, but we are getting a new puppy next week, so one more thing to think about for travel preparation.
I am pretty sure these are Stone’s sheep, but I could be wrong about that. Up here, we have bighorn sheep also, with the curved horns. But these do have straighter horns like goats. Thanks for encouraging me to research! Either way, they are cute!
Thanks for memories. I’ve driven the Alaska Hwy about 8 times in every season. Last time was a about 10 years ago. I would like to drive it one more time in my life. Teslen bridge and Muncho lake are some of my favorite spots.
Awesome scenery. So relaxing to watch. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the trip. Thanks for watching!

I’m grateful for the paved roads, that’s for sure. The gravel is hard on the vehicles too. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

Some of those snowy mountain shots are absolutely breathtaking?😊
Everything was shot with an iPhone 11, most of it out a truck window. You just can’t take a bad picture up here!
That's a great journey. Take care.

Yes, baby bison, people haveta keep their youngsters off the road, too😊
Yep!
Did you have any difficulties with getting the dogs across the borders?
No, but we made sure they were up to date on their shots, esp. Rabies. We had their vet records with us in case we needed them, and their vaccination tags on their harnesses.
Make sure you bring doggie bags to clean up after your pet. They are not readily available along the route.

bad music
limited choices
Personally, I found your music choice relaxing. Thank you for sharing your journeys!
