Going South - Alaska -> Spokane, WA Galleries

Day 18 - July 7 - Valdez, AK -> Whitehorse, Yukon : Today was intended just to be a long drive to get from Valdez to Haines Junction or Whitehorse over in the Yukon. Last day of Alaska. A long gruelling 13 hour drive on roads in the midst of construction and delays. The first time I've encountered much of this at all. At least 2 hours was lost to sitting and waiting for pilot cars. But, I finally saw my first grizzly/brown bear. Pics below.

Day 19 - July 8 - Whitehorse, Yukon -> Muncho Lake, BC : Another big transit day. Was trying to make it to Fort Nelson but fell in love with Muncho Lake. Stayed in an older lodge/motel/rv place. Very scenic and took a lake cruise at 9 PM that was excellent in a 46 year old wooden boat.
