Well, here we go again. This time we are driving up the Alaska Highway (AlCan). A list of picture galleries is below the map. The map will reflect in yellow our route. I will not list the day-by-day progress as we did on the US Trip.
Trip change - We are going to leave the Alaska Highway area and go to the following National Parks in Canada and US: Jasper, Banff, Waterton Lakes, Glacier and Yellowstone. The map does not show Yellowstone, so after Glacier our route home will not be shown completely.
Jon's Favorites are now separated between Favorite Scenics and Favorite Wildlife. Click to see them. Updated September 24th.
Well, the trip is finished. Now to start planning the next one!
